  1. A salute while seated
  2. A moving turn from a halt ✔
  3. A change to close interval

Why: The cadet pivots 90 degrees and steps into the new direction in one count. This connects a stationary start directly to a marching turn.

Huh, didn't know that: When moving right, the left foot crosses over the right during the step-off.
