In a post about Rhodey we got talking about whether he’d salute Steve or not and last-snowfall said:

And I suspect Steve more or less forgot all protocol on saluting about two weeks after taking the Commandos, because, well. MCU!Steve. 😛

#WWII Steve comes in to camp after a mission and there’s a passel of strange new officers  #OH SHIT  #um  #do I take my hat off???  #no no wait hat stays on  #do I count as being in uniform right now #they are going to make fun of my uniform #PEGGY DO I HAVE TO SALUTE THEM ALL INDIVIDUALLY OR #halp oh halp #and Bucky is watching from far away #knowing proper salute protocol because he’s a sergeant #and laaaughing

Yes, good. Correct. *gives gold star*

(Bucky’s salute protocol is technically correct but ever so slightly sardonic – not enough you could say for sure, but enough to ruffle at least a couple feathers of every officer that gets it – and the other Howling Commandos follow his lead except for Jacques, whose salutes are so flawlessly smart and crisp that they are, in fact, mockery in and of themselves.)
