A settlement of a disagreement regarding either a medieval stringed instrument or a gesture-of-respect greeting among servicemen.
When I'm "in the zone" with my old-school guitar, I detest having to "shatter the spell" by removing my hand from the strings to make the standard acknowledgement every time a fellow uniformed individual happens by, so perhaps if I simply break into a "triple R" --- i.e., Rousing Rendition of Reveille --- on my instrument whenever I observe the approach of one of said individuals, that might be a mutually-palatable resaluteion.
