Does a Second Lieutenant salute a First Lieutenant?

Answer:

Yes. A matter of military protocol. The First Lt. outranks the Second. It really shouldn't be a big deal, Usually done in formal situations, but in most cases no one is going to kick a fuss about it unless the 1st Lt is really feeling uptight about it, usually when he just got chewed out on some issue by a more senior officer.
