These are examples
Should we note that the toasts listed are *examples*? The only one listed that would be done as prescribed here is the one for the service (we do not address the President of the USA and "His Excellency" -- that is done only by foreigners outside the US). At a minimum, this list seems out of place, as currently written, within the USA section of the article.

Ditto for the mess violations. I have seen officers penalized for walking on the incorrect side of their spouse (not listed here) or allowing her to leave the room unescorted (also not listed). I don't see a need to add them, since the list could swiftly become endless.

I have corrected the latter, but would like feedback on the former. 155.213.224.59 (talk) 14:19, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Please do not make changes without adding independent reliable sources. I'm still considering reverting what you've changed. While I imagine there might be a variety of different practice you or others have seen, we have to rely on what we have sourced. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 15:55, 30 January 2015 (UTC)


 * For 155.213.224.59: It is not an accident that the formal toasts portion is a subsection of the United States section.  The portions about "King", "Queen", etc., are included because you might have a situation where a head of state is present at the event, be it as a visitor here in the United States, or for when a U.S. unit based overseas conducts an event in a foreign country and a head of state is invited (England being the best example).  Those sorts of situations would be extremely rare of course, but the formality of the protocol has included.  Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 16:40, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
