If you are in uniform indoors when the National Anthem is played, stand at attention; do not salute and do not place your hand over your heart. If you are outdoors and hear the National Anthem played (usually at 1630 or 1700 hours) stand at attention and face the direction of the music. Salute if you are in uniform or place your hand over your heart if you are not in uniform.
