Does the Navy salute officers when wearing Kevlar
helmets?

• If you have been watching the news lately, you
  may have seen reports of the Navy returning to
  the use of kevlar in their helmets.
• Kevlar is a poly-aramid fiber that is woven into
  a strong, lightweight material that is heat
  resistant.
• The Navy and the Marine Corps had previously
  switched to the use of this material from
  fiberglass. Fiberglass is very good at absorbing
  the impact of a hard hit, but it is much heavier
  than kevlar. It also is prone to breaking.
• You see the helmet, you salute the man. When a
  sailor gets a helmet he or she is no longer a
  seaman, they are an officer. In essence, they
  salute because of their position. You can apply
  this to anyone who puts on a helmet because of
  the increased need for head protection from
  injuries, etc.
• Traditionally, the military salute is a gesture
  of respect.
• The traditions and history of military salutes
  differ from country to country and between
  services.

Do you salute an officer who is not wearing a
hat?

• In the United States Military, the highest
  ranking officer party on board a naval command
  vessel or flying an aircraft would have all
  personnel stop what they are doing, salute him,
  and resume their duties after he has passed by.
  In 2007 President George W. Bush stopped this
  practice due to security concerns.
• In the United States Armed Forces, military
  personnel who are wearing Kevlar helmets salute
  officers by touching their forehead with their
  right hand fingers while wearing the helmet.
  Proper gloves should be worn with a reflective
  band to indicate rank of colonel or below for
  officers and captains or below for enlisted
  service members according to a U.S Navy SEALs
  guide.
• On some occasions, a salute is only given to the
  person of highest rank or title, such as the
  president, vice president, general, admiral, etc.
  The saluting party is not required to give a
  salute unless the person they are saluting
  returns it.
• On the American mainland, military salutes are
  often followed by a hand-held clicker, which is
  an electronic device which sends an electrical
  pulse to the finger and brain which causes a
  voluntary movement of the fingers and head. The
  sound and/or feeling is almost identical to the
  actual salute.

What happens if you don't salute an officer?

• The use of a hand-held clicker is voluntary for
  the military member. The USMC has instituted a
  mandatory use of the clicker.
• Does the Navy Salute the Officer or the Enlisted
  Member?
• The United States Navy, United States Marine
  Corps, and United States Coast Guard have the
  same salute for officers and enlisted personnel.
• The officer and enlisted members of the military
  salute by touching their forehead with their
  right hand and their left hand is held in the
  position of a salute. The gesture for an enlisted
  member is more akin to a salute than a salute.
• Saluting in the USMC
• The United States Marine Corps has their own
  protocol for saluting. The enlisted member will
  salute the officer by touching their forehead
  with their right hand and their left hand is held
  in the position of a salute.
