When entering Officer or CPO Country on official business, you:

• A. Remove your cover, unless on duty
• B. Keep your cover on
• C. Do not salute
• D. Salute twice

Answer: (A)

Entering Officer or CPO Country on official business means you’re in an indoor space where hats are normally removed as a sign of respect and adherence to naval etiquette. The correct practice is to remove your cover, unless you are on duty, in which case you may keep it on to perform your duties and maintain your role visibility. This shows proper deference to the officers and chiefs who control those areas and keeps the uniform code consistent. Keeping the cover on indoors would go against this standard, and other actions like saluting differently aren’t the appropriate response to entering these spaces.
