Say Hey Bill!
Although I'm a former Navy guy, I checked with some bro's on the ~other
side~, and got some good advise here for ya:
General Rules of Thumb are the following:
1. When saluting a General, always salute with your right hand. Keep the
thumb tightly clenched against the index finger of the rigid right hand.
Keep the thumb as straight as possible, however, due to the stress of
encountering a General, do not be suprised if a slight ~crook~ appears at
the mid-point of the thumb (no matter how straight you try to keep it).
Never look the General in the eye (they might ask you to "volunteer" for
something), and neither should you look at your thumb, for it is a sign of
weakness. While it is important to wash the edge of your pinky finger
(because it faces the General if the salute is done correctly), the only
part of your thumb you need to wash is the very outward tip, because it
could leave a smudge mark on your temple if you changed the oil lately in a
Hummer or SUV. That's all I know about General rules of thumb. As for
"setup and behavior" you inquire about, this is MOST important: If someone
tries to "set you up" with a General's daughter, forget it. You're just
asking for trouble from the beginning. Your "behavior" will tip off the
General, and you know that that means....Booty Duty. Hope this helps-
Murphy

Subject: [RCSE] Aerotowing
All this talk about aerotowing has me intrigued. I've never done it but it
seems to me that it'd be a most enjoyable way to launch.
What are the general rules of thumb regarding methods, setup and behavior?
