SALUTE IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF MILITARY COURTESY AMONG MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MILITARY. IF YOU ARE A CIVILIAN WHO WALKS TOGETHER WITH A MILITARY OFFICER, AUTOMATICALLY, THE SUBORDINATES OF THAT MILITARY OFFICER YOU ARE WALKING WITH WILL RENDER A SALUTE AT LEAST 6FT IN DISTANCE AND SHALL BE ANSWERED BY THE OFFICER BEING SALUTED.

Why do Military people salute?
Military personnel salute each other to show respect. It is also a formal military courtesy. Usually enlisted men/women salute officers first. The officers will then either return the salute or put them at ease. In the field (i.e. combat zones) you are not supposed to salute. This is because as mentioned above enlisted persons usually salute officers first. If a sniper or spy is watching saluting an officer would give away the fact that they are an officer and therefore they would become a ideal snipers target. If you eliminate a officer it is Both A: Bad for troop morale. And B: units have a tendancy to fall apart. Hope this helps.
Who has to salute a Medal of Honor winner?
I have read, but do not know for certain, that the president and all armed forces members do salute Medal of Honor recipients. However, there is no documented requirement for this gesture. We must distinguish between regulation and tradition here. There is no written military regulation that requires a senior officer to ever salute a junior officer or an enlisted man first, regardless of what award the junior holds. However it has been a long standing military tradition to render a salute first (or at least simultaneously) to a Medal of Honor recipient. When doing so, the senior officer is not technically saluting the man, but the award, in the same way that military personnel saluting a color guard are saluting the US flag and not the flag bearer. I hope this clarifies things.
Do you have to salute a cadet?
The salute is the greeting among the military. The junior rank/enlisted is required to render the salute first and hold it until the officer drops his salute. Cadets have not taken the oath of office and have not been commissioned. They may be saluted by enlisted. An officer would return a cadet's salute. It is not be a requirement for an enlisted man to render a salute to a cadet but it may not be career enhancing to give a cadet the brush-off when presented with the opportunity to render the greeting.

Is it mandatory for an enlisted member to salute a senior enlisted members?
Normally, a salute is given to a senior ranking person who holds a commissioned status, meaning they are an officer, not a non-commissioned officer or petty officer. If military enlisted members go around saluting each other all the time, it would be a little strange, it is not a normal practice or custom.
