#6 Common custom and courtesy failures Common acts of courtesy among all Air Force personnel aid in maintaining discipline and smooth conduct of affairs in the military establishment. When common courtesy falters, discipline ceases to function and accomplishing the mission is endangered. Some commonly ignored courtesies are: • Don’t keep others waiting, be on time • Support and promote leaders’ decisions • Give the senior person the position of honor when walking, riding or sitting; the junior person should take the position to the senior’s left • When saluting, the junior ranking member salutes first and holds salute until senior member returns and drops their salute • Junior ranking members should rise and stand at attention when senior ranking person enters or departs a room.
