I think military in uniform should keep covers on during the national anthem, but I could be mistaken.

For me, it's always hats off hand on heart.

This is correct. If you're in a military uniform and outside, I cant think of any situation where you are authorized to take off your cover, except in manual labor situations.

Yup, in uniform, cover stays on and render military salute. FWIW, police departments follow the same proticol.

Hat off, hand over heart, undivided attention and after the anthem is over slap anyone who didn't give the same respect
