According to the Auxiliary Manual:

 The hand salute is a long-established form of greeting and recognition exchanged between persons in the Armed Forces.  Saluting is proper courtesy for Auxiliarists when greeting commissioned officers of the Armed Forces including National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) uniformed officers who serve with the Armed Forces

 

All Auxiliarist, regardless of position, are to salute all Commissioned Officers (Warrant Officers, Ensigns and above) when in uniform and when greeting an officer on/off base.

 When out of doors, in uniform, and addressing the National Ensign, or whenever the National Anthem or Taps is rendered, a military salute is given. During a rendition of the National Anthem or Taps when the flag is displayed or posted, all those present in uniform and covered should face the flag and render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed or posted, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed. If uncovered, all those present in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag or music, as appropriate.

 When covered in uniform, the hand salute is correctly executed by raising the right hand smartly until the tip of the forefinger touches the lower part of headdress or forehead, above and slightly to the right of the right eye, thumb and fingers extended and joined, palm down, upper arm horizontal, forearm inclined at forty-five degrees, hand and wrist straight. At the same time, one’s head is turned toward the person being saluted. To complete the salute, the arm is dropped to its normal side position and eyes are turned to the front.
