 Sailor recently asked if they are required to salute when walking with an officer and another enlisted service member approaches and salutes that officer. The basic military requirements state if you are walking with or standing by a commissioned officer and the occasion arises for a salute, do not salute until the officer salutes. For example, if a senior officer approaches you while you are walking with a junior officer, you should salute after the junior officer renders his salute. The regulation does not cover what to do when it is an enlisted member approaching. However, the salute is a symbol of respect and a sign of comradeship. So when in doubt, salute.
