Identify the procedures of executing the hand salute.

Identification should include

• determining when, where, and to whom it is appropriate to salute
• coming to attention
• turning the head and eyes toward the Colors or person to be saluted
• raising the right hand quickly and sharply
• bringing the hand up until the tip of the index finger touches above and slightly to the right of the right eye
• keeping thumb and fingers extended and joined, palm to the left, with the hand and wrist straight
• holding upper arm horizontal and forearm inclined at a 45º angle
• maintaining the salute until it is returned by the person saluted
• dropping the hand to the side.

The above should be accomplished without any personal stylistic additions.
