As a former officer I would love to get rid of the salute too. When I got promoted to captain all my lieutenant friends lined the street and commenced to salute me. Of course I had to return the salutes. Until the base commander happened by and stopped his staff car and asked if I would like a ride. I accepted and smiled as all my friends had to salute the pennant on the staff car and I could just sit and relax.
