Not really....
In Navy rules most likely, but army/air force your left hand does nothing, you're either marching (arm swing) or stationary. The branch/unit/pow/school/etc... flag is ONLY dipped at carry. Per AF Regs the flag bearer(s) not holding the US flag will bring their hand and rotate it 90 degrees. And I have never heard this "dipping" of the flag, can you state the reg on it? I know there is to be no flag raised higher then the US flag except the UN flag. All other nations are at the same level.
