Saluting Officers
I'm supposed to salute officers when I see them outdoors. Usually, it is appropriate to say "Good morning, sir." Sometimes it is inappropriate, such as when the officer is indeed a female, or when it's late afternoon. It is also sometimes inappropriate to say "Howdy, sir."
What is almost always inappropriate, however, is forgetting to salute a Lieutenant Colonel in broad daylight as you walk past him with his rank in clear view. ESPECIALLY if it's because you were too busy checking out his smoking hot wife walking right next to him.
In my defense, the LTC rank looks a lot like the Specialist rank on the ACU's. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself.

This isn't the first time you've mistaken an LTC for a "Super Specialist" is it?
