Performed a "First Salute," yesterday. :)

[DainBramaged]

A ROTC guy in a few of my classes had a very strong, pro-America attitude. While I feel the same in some respects, I took great cause with his close-minded approach. I took him to task a few times and we began developing a closer relationship. He honored me by asking me to be his First Salute, of which I obliged. Helps that you get a silver dollar for it, too.

So, when are you two love birds tying the knot?

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Sorry to be a dunce here. But what exactly is a "first salute" and what is its significance?

Nice pic BTW.

Edit - nevermind. I googled it. Cool.

Haha...Boomer, Semper Fi, back at you. If I could've tagged anybody, it would have been you.

Yeah right. Expert and expert, thank you much...haha.

Yeah, MongGrel is right. The guy in white was JUST freshly commissioned so he hasn't had a chance to earn many yet. I was in for five. Semper Fi, MongGrel!
