Your sentence sounds like you are a soldier in the army.

What is the context? E.g. are you talking about an imagined (hypothetical) situation?

This is not specific enough to help any further. "I would have to salute officers when I am working" is a hybrid form, a mixture of the more hypothetical "would ... was" and the less hypothetical "will ... am".
