Can we make Apex SOAP callout in a synchronous manner

Hi,
Can someone explain, can we make Apex SOAP callout in a synchronous manner? My understanding was- whenever we make APEX SOAP callout, we need to do with @future, which is asynchronous.

You can make an Apex SOAP callout synchronously, but only from certiain "starting" locations.  For example, any callouts made from during a trigger's lifespan must be made with an @future.  Callouts from VisualForce controllers and WebService methods can be made without the @future annotation.
