Left hand not by side while
salute is being made.
Some beginners forget, while saluting, to remove their pipes,
cigarettes, or cigars from their mouths. This proves clearly that they
are beginners, for trained and experienced men are careful about
military honors and salutes.

THE RESTS

Being at a halt, the commands are: FALL OUT; REST; AT EASE; and 1.
Parade, 2. REST.
At the command fall out, the men may leave the ranks, but are required
to remain in the immediate vicinity. They resume their former places, at
attention, at the command fall in.
At the command rest, each man keeps one foot in place, but is not
required to preserve silence or immobility.
At the command at ease, each man keeps one foot in place and is required
to preserve silence, but not immobility.

1. Parade, 2. REST. Previously explained.
To resume the attention: 1. Squad, 2. ATTENTION. The men take the
position of the soldier.
