You Brits have a unique way of saluting. I’m guessing my American ancestors changed everything when they broke away from the Empire. Names, hobbies, interests, medicine, and now salute
@@C0wb0yBebop The American way of saluting originated in the Navy iirc, because it was seen as disrespectful to put a dirt and oil covered palm towards the officer
The Royal Navy is the shortest way up and down with palm facing backwards and RAF is essentially the same as that of the British Army except the hand goes beside the eye instead of above it.
Remember, when you salute, you're technically saluting the Queen! This is because when you salute an officer, that's a display of respect to the rank and to the Queen's Commission, rather than to the officer themselves. It's therefore extremely important to get it right.
Interestingly, saluting differs between countries. In the South Korean military, we only show the pinky side of our hand outwards because the superior is "not supposed to see your dirty hand". Thank you for the informing video!
I was always taught your pointer finger rests at the arch of your eyebrow as if it’s pointing to it so that your middle finger lays just above your eyebrow… I’ve been in cadets for like 4-5 years now
I’m sure the staff sgt and the left tenant both know more than you also it’s one movement down so when the elbow comes in the arm is coming down it’s not separate movements
@@matthewmitchell7707 Well yeah its one movement but the elbow should be tucked back and parallel to the facing of the body by the time the arm is half way down. I was in cadets for 6 years and taught drill. I know these things.
@@ThepPixel yeah and I’m currently a 4* colour sgt, that is 2IC of our battalion and what ur saying is what they did, he saluted correctly longest way up shortest way down with the 2,3 timings where is the fault?
I think the Indian Air force has the airmen/airwomen to salute with palm facing 45 degrees downwards, while the navy salutes with the palm completely facing down.
In Canada? No. We Canadians follow the Naval Salute tradition. The hand is outstretched, tip of the middle finger at the eyebrows or glasses, palm facing down, the entire forearm/wrist/hand is to be straight.
Or any NCO, I was saluted once when I was a lance by a new person I didn’t have to give him in trouble as the laughter of other cadets made sure he didn’t do it again, just gave him the “I work for a living” speech and moved on
I can feel a RSM in this lad... if I may politely recommend this book.. Tristan Gooley.... *The Walkers Guild to Outdoor clues & signs* EVERYTHING Around is seen .. you'll understand
ARE YOU SERIOUS !!, really, an Army Cadet Force association CZcams to show young people how to salute. I am ex ACF and then ATC who then did five years in the RAF and in each of them was shown only once after joining how to salute, and that was all we needed to do properly. What is next, as with Monty Python instructing young people how to be "walking up and down the square". What is made worse here, is this effectively ACF recruitment video to encourage young people to join, which having also been a teacher, who over two decades encouraged young people to join the ACF, we have a Staff Sergeant with a vile and very big tattoo that becomes the centre of attention of the promotion video, this also is something I can talk about as my time in the RAF was spent as Ground Photographer. This disgrace of a staff sergeant and what ever officer or officers who chose him, shows the decline and thinking of the services even in the ACF when the having such a tattoo that distracted from the point of the video i.e. saluting and the promotion of having all over the body tattoos now - was not considered important at all. What has happened to 'intelligence' and 'common sense' that I was taught when a teenager and a young man that benefitted so much in my life.
You Yanks have no regard for tradition. The "open palm" is a sign of respect and indicates that you are unarmed. The American "palm down" is a sign of a suspicious nature.
@@BackSeatHump they got it from their navy as it was seen as disrespectful to show an oiled/dirty hand to an officer so they adopted a palm down technique

Longest way up... shortest way down.

that's how i was taught
Dammit - I've just posted the same comment, but you beat me to it FOUR YEARS AGO.

@@michaelviknius419 The original comment was before the Queen's death.
nah she dead bro thankfully
Eh, I like focusing more on the officer

This dates back from the middle ages, when knights wore helmets. They moved their visor up to greet eachother

Thank you for the informing video!
My son (13) just joined Cadets a week or so ago and he’s been doing it wrong all week! Will make sure he watches this!
Thanks
If he joined a week ago how has he already got a beret
Direct Dec you don’t need one
@Lightzy when you fallout you can only salute with a beret on. During a cadet night that’s the only time you salute
@@directdec8224 not necessarily
@You don't need to know my name yes you can only salute if you wearing a beret in cadets
Cheers mate didn’t learn that at camp like
Aye, a kings trooper
I was always taught your pointer finger rests at the arch of your eyebrow as if it’s pointing to it so that your middle finger lays just above your eyebrow… I’ve been in cadets for like 4-5 years now
Thank you very much!🥲
Sometimes summarised as "Longest way up, shortest way down".
The song is really good can't lie.
Thanks 💯
I was taught, longest way up, shortest way down!
Love you so much
❤️❤️❤️❤️ British Army dream will work it to get in.
Same salute used by all Disclipined Services in HK!
Now i finally understand why open order and salute
We’re hitting our bros
Do some drill instruction videos please.
Thank you for your service
Our pleasure!
Lol
Thanks
I plan on doing this to the Royal Guard when I go to visit the UK someday.
Are you in the military? If not then do not as only military members or veterans are supposed to do it.
@@haroldbrismann2633 very true, i’m a veterans son and it’s even wrong for me to do it even at ceremonial events.
Don't!
@@haroldbrismann2633 - Alright. Thanks for the info.
what should I do if I want to show respect
Did she explain the timing? Up two three, down two three...
Atleast you lot know what to do compare to my Police Cadet unit 😅
thanks
im 12 and my dad just signed me up for cadets ty
Longest way up, shortest way down.
same in Indian army
I’m waiting until I’m 12 to join army cadets in the uk
I'm In Old Failings Lane Unitted Kindom Wolverhampton And I'm Joining The Cadets On Wednesday
song?
Is that Canada too? Theirs seem different
Song name??
You actually bring the elbow in first then bring the rest of the arm down.
I’m sure the staff sgt and the left tenant both know more than you also it’s one movement down so when the elbow comes in the arm is coming down it’s not separate movements

It's still wrong. The middle finger should be in line with the eyebrow
Lmao. Seriously?
Im pretty sure they know what they are doing.
Wrong. The Drill Manual literally says the fore finger should be one inch above the right eye.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
So tell us, Ben Nutter, are you referring to the natural brow, the plucked one, or the tattooed one?
I embarrassed myself so hard my first week of cadets, heard some sniggers while I saluted so I thought I'd watch a video
Cheers guys I accidentally messed up when saluting an officer on my last camp so thanks for correcting me

Remember, this is the british salute so the americans do it differently
British Army salute. The navy has their palm facing down.
They rule us for 200 years , we do same salute in indian
I think the Indian Air force has the airmen/airwomen to salute with palm facing 45 degrees downwards, while the navy salutes with the palm completely facing down.
But, I’m not in the UK!
Why does the man look like my Sargent 🤨

Wow thanks for saving me 6 seconds mate I owe ya my life
Doin gods work
@@deadmeme4256 he’s doing gods work
@@abshirali2284 what a legend 😂
Is the same for RMC ?
In Canada? No. We Canadians follow the Naval Salute tradition. The hand is outstretched, tip of the middle finger at the eyebrows or glasses, palm facing down, the entire forearm/wrist/hand is to be straight.
is this a british salute
Yes.
Old way longer way up short way down
She has a medical thing with her posture
The title ought to be, "The Proper Way To Salute". The Yanks would do well to watch this video.
The Americans follow more of a naval tradition with the palm facing downwards. We Canadian do it too, just in a more British way than our neighbours.
Vyne school
thanks for nothing, my CUO yelled at me and touched me

What ever you do new recruits, please do not salute the RSM
Or any NCO, I was saluted once when I was a lance by a new person I didn’t have to give him in trouble as the laughter of other cadets made sure he didn’t do it again, just gave him the “I work for a living” speech and moved on
I can feel a RSM in this lad...

Nothing wrong with the tattoos!!
Why should he not have tattoos?
No the palm should face the ground instead of the front. We learned this since kindergarten.
You Yanks have no regard for tradition. The "open palm" is a sign of respect and indicates that you are unarmed. The American "palm down" is a sign of a suspicious nature.
This is the UK.
@@BackSeatHump they got it from their navy as it was seen as disrespectful to show an oiled/dirty hand to an officer so they adopted a palm down technique
