Spirit,
Personally, when I'm not in uniform, I place my hand over my heart - however
- like you saw - most around me were saluting as if they were in full uniform
and hats. I have a hard time saluting to the eyebrow without a hat, but in
uniform I do (Air Force training I guess!) Inside, I never salute - I ALWAYS
place my hand over my heart - regardless of what I'm wearing - besides, I'd
never wear a hat indoors unless I'm "Under arms" (carrying a weapon) OR a
member of a color guard.
Anyways, my 2 cents.
