Subject: JROTC

Answer 1

The Hand saluting is a gesture to show respect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hand salutation is a two count movement. The hand salute movements are used to report or to render courtesy and respect to the officers, the nation and the flag.

When the commander gives the command, 'Present Arms', the officers immediately raises the right hand sharply with all the fingers and the thumb joined and extended. The palm of the hand should face down. The hands and the writs should lie in a straight position and the elbow should be inclined forward.
