You're supposed to, but it really comes down to the unit. Officers and Warrant Officers of that unit - who are prone to going in and out of that shop - will most likely be a bit more lax on that policy, understanding that the enlisted personnel in that shop are going to be in situations where it may be very inconvenient to suddenly stop and assume the position of attention. But if, say, the Brigade or Division Commander suddenly walks into that maintenance shop, you'd better believe they're going to expect personnel in that shop to come to the position of attention as they enter.
Typically any officer that notices the arrival of a flag officer call attention. In formal occasions, the Executive Officer or the Aide-de-Camp will call attention.
Attention on Deck is called for on the arrival of the Commanding Officer. It is also used for any Flag grade officer, which is Captain or Above. The first person to spot the arrival calls the room to attention.
Call the room to attention and remain at such until they direct you to carry on.
There is no military regulation requiring a call to attention because a person is a Congressional medal of Honor winner. Of course, if the CMH recipient is a commissioned officer on active duty as well, usual officer protocol is expected.
No. The command of "At ease!" is given in facilities such as dining halls, latrines, and hospital wards where coming to attention is not practical.
I would call your probation officer to find out.
When any Warrant or Commissioned officer enters a room, unless there is another officer of the same of higher grade already present. Please note that in certain rooms, such as a dining area or bathroom, rather than "Attention" the proper command would be "At ease".Generally, you call the room to attention only if a officer entering the room is of a higher rank than the people already in the room.For example, if the room is only filled with enlisted people, you would call the room to attention if an officer of any rank entered the room. Even a 2nd Lieutenant.If, say, a Lt. Colonel is already in the room, and a Major enters, you would NOT call the room to attention. However, if a full bird Colonel enters, you WOULD call the room to attention.It is common for officers to excuse a room from calling to attention if they plan to enter and leave a lot. Rooms with a lot of activity, usually have an unwritten rule that the room is only called to attention for officer who part of the staff or regular visitors. In the Command Post, for example, pilots of all ranks are common visitors. The room would usually only be called to attention for O-6 and higher. Otherwise, nothing would get done.
If neither party is injured and state so then the Officer can use his judgement and not call the ambulance. If all parties claim to be fine but the officer thinks they may have injuries he will probably call the ambulance anyway to side on the side of caution. If he later started feeling bad the officer would be criticized for not getting medical attention.
It is military protocol to call a room or building to attention when a senior officer enters or leaves. That is, if the highest ranking officer in the room is a 2nd Lieutenant, and a Captain enters, the LT would call the room to attention. If, for instance, the building holds the offices of the commanding General, the building is called to attention when he enters in the morning, and when he leaves at days end. Unless he give specific orders to the contrary, this will not happen again throughout the day, provided one of his superiors does not enter the building (this would never occur unannounced, and the General's Adjutant would likely be the officer to call attention when this happened). The purpose is tradition, prespect, recognition of the chain of command.
