Is saluting required when either staff or OTs are in Physical Training Gear (PTG)?

In the context of military customs and courtesies, saluting is generally a sign of respect and is governed by specific protocols. When personnel are in Physical Training Gear (PTG), the traditional expectation to salute in military settings is relaxed. Although saluting is not required while in PTG, members are still encouraged to acknowledge one another with verbal greetings. This practice maintains a level of professionalism and respect among troops, but recognizes the practicalities and informality associated with physical training attire. This approach fosters camaraderie while respecting the operational environment, reinforcing the idea that respect can be shown in various ways even when specific protocols are not required.
