• He saluted as he left the swamp naked for the mess tent (in episode I/18: Dear Dad...Again)
  
• He saluted Frank as he sits on the latrine after playing a trick on him (in episode I/24: Showtime)
  
• He saluted Frank before playing a trick on him (in episode II/25: Divided We Stand)
  
• He saluted Frank on the way to nurse Erika (in episode II/27: Radar's Report)
  
• Hawkeye and Trapper saluted Hot Lips in her tent, while she was holding a massage appliance in her right hand (in episode II/32: The Trial of Henry Blake)
  
• He saluted a major, as he and Trapper were standing in front of the three incubators (in episode II/36: The Incubator)
  
• He saluted Radar after he handed him over his medal (in episode VI/122: Fallen Idol)

Absolutely one of the greatest TV shows ever and one of my all-time favorites.
