It's actually a bit tricky, but no - the enlisted member should salute the approaching officer after the senior officer has returned the junior's salute or as the junior officer approaches, assuming the senior officer diverts attention from the enlisted to return a salute rather than just acknowledge the salute by a nod. The junior will then return the enlisted member's salute after the senior officer has returned the junior's salute, and the enlisted should hold the salute to the junior officer until returned by the junior officer.
However, if the enlisted is engaged in conversation with the senior officer, it is disrespectful to divert attention away from a senior officer to an approaching junior officer to salute. When it occurs, it usually it happens simultaneously when the situation warrants. Most senior officers don't like to be interrupted during a formal conversation (and it's disrespectful to do so unless it's warranted), so most avoid the situation altogether.
It depends on the setting as well, e.g., formal or informal, indoors (yes, salutes are rendered indoors at certain functions) or outdoors, etc. Most of the time if a senior officer is engaged in conversation with a junior (enlisted or otherwise), unless it's urgent, the officer wishing to speak to the senior will wait until the senior is finished. If just passing by, the junior may salute the senior, at which point the senior may either acknowledge the salute by a nod, or return if appropriate.

What is another word for enlist?
The definition of enlisted is recruited however with regard to the military this is not totally correct because some officers are recruited but they are not under an enlisted contract. When referencing the enlisted men less formal terms such as grunts or the rank and file or the men can be used.

What if your in the army and marry someone in the army?
Then you're a soldier who is married to another soldier? Unless you delve into issues such as enlisted and officers getting involved with each other, there really isn't much more to it than that. You may, however, have to accept being assigned to different duty stations if one of you or both of you were to come down on PCS orders.
Can you be on military orders with a medical issue?
Of course. Any officer or enlisted is ALWAYS "on orders" of one kind or another, even if they are "standing orders," such as in a permanent duty station.

What did the Japanese have to wear in World War 2 to tell them apart?
Authorities went by surnames. Answer Well, true, anyone of a higher rank would be called by their surname in Japanese. But then again, usually Japanese only call one another by their surnames unless they are close friends or family. They may even add the Japanese "-sama" ending, "kaichou" for boss, etc for someone of a much higher rank. So, calling another by surname really didn't distinguish officers from enlisted. I don't know what they wore that distinguished officers, though...
