officer and enlisted members
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.
Article 134 of the UCMJ addresses unprofessional relationships, stating that offenses related to this involve conduct that is unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman. This includes improper relationships between officers and enlisted personnel, as well as actions that discredit the armed forces.
