Volume is the way to do this, not penny ante (pun intended) one at a time stuff.
Seriously, that's nice that you participated in/carried on such a tradition. |
What do you think Louis Gosset, Jr. (Drill Sgt in Officer and a Gentleman) was doing at the end of the movie? Each of his new Ensigns (or 2nd Lt's for the Marines) saluted him on the way off the parade ground, and he made mad cash!
I was in for 20 yrs, only got invited to 1 commissioning ceremony, and the first salute was picked prior to the pinning.
