When in Doubt...

WHEN SALUTING an officer at Fort Lewis, near Tacoma, Wash., ROTC cadets were to greet him or her with half of the battalion motto. The officer would then return the salute and respond with the other half. One day, a cadet approached me, saluted and then became speechless. I told him if he couldn't remember the motto to look at the sign in front of the battalion headquarters. He turned around and came to rigid attention. "Keep off the grass, sir," he said.
