...formations in ranks, except when actually receiving instruction, cadets will be brought to "attention" by the officer or non-commissioned officer in charge upon the approach of a tactical instructor. The officer or non-command "rest" or "at ease" after the instructor has passed, or if he remains in the vicinity after acknowledging the salute.
