Regulation 12.3: Formal Address of a Superior Officer Officers must address all superior officers with the appropriate title and maintain a posture of formal respect. Salutes are optional in non-combat zones but mandatory during disciplinary hearings or formal inspections.
Alistair’s Translation: 12.3 is essentially a protection spell for the higher-ups' egos. Stand up straight, call them 'Sir' or 'Ma'am', and try not to look like you can see the resonance-rot eating away at their authority.
