#1 "saluted like he was in the Air Force." What the hell does that mean? I recieved praise from a Marine Major for my "Snappy" salute and I wore blue. I am sure he meant Canadian Air Force and not the USAF.

#2 I think there's a slight but noticeable difference in how the hand is held for a Marine salute. The Marines put far more emphasis into training for their salute than does the other branches. An NCO would spot such a difference instantly, and combined with (horrors!) scrambled uniform decorations, he would smell a gigantic rat.
