Question
In the military do lower ranked men salute to men of Higher rank than themselves who happen to be in a different branch of the military? For instance would an Army sergeant salute a Navy Captain.
Also what about a foreign Military would we salute a Canadian General or a British Captain and so on?
The answer to your question is MOST DEFINITELY!!
Even though the Army Sgt it not in the Navy, we still show respect to any officer foreign or domestic. There are many places that we are stationed where we are tenants on a foreign military installation where we are the guest, so we pay the sames customs and courtesies as we would at home station..

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
