When a commissioned staff member enters or exits the room, what should OTs do?

When a commissioned staff member enters or exits the room, OTs are expected to call the room to attention. This action reflects proper military decorum and respect for the rank and position of the commissioned individual. By calling the room to attention, OTs acknowledge the authority and responsibility of the staff member, demonstrating discipline and adherence to military protocols.

This behavior sets the tone for professionalism and respect within the training environment. It helps instill a sense of orderliness and reinforces the importance of leadership within the military context. It's a critical component of military etiquette that is important for OTs to practice as they prepare for their roles as future officers.
