  • The day Ensign John R. Morgan III was commissioned as an Officer in the United States Navy his brother, Cadet Thomas A. Morgan of the United Stated Army, was there to give him his first salute. I was lucky enough to be there to capture this clip (their extremely proud, big sister!)

    In 1970 my cousin was commissioned an ensign. My grandfather, a WWI veteran, gave him his first salute. A year later my grandfather gave him his last salute.

    When I was commissioned as a Navy Chief Warrant Officer, my wife, then a CTM2 gave me my first salute! I then re-enlisted her for four more years in the Navy. I gave my silver dollar to the first member of my ship's crew to salute me, however.

      I don't think it's allowed. They say not fraternisation and since they're uniform, no matter who or what they are to each other, it's not allowed... or so I have heard.

      Chief don’t Hug!
      We can infer, likely incorrectly (not), that having not leaned in to the Marine - could have been a gender bias issue, leaning in to the Chief, unintentional but inappropriate given the circumstances. Unless she is his Mother, God Mother, Aunt. . .
