11 General Orders ~ The easy way
Hey all,
Since everyone has a hard time remembering the 11 General Orders, which you are required to know, I went ahead and compiled a list that a depper made and put them on a easy to read sheet. Enjoy...

I find it humorous that there is a list like this. It is very helpful. What is funny to me though is, when I was a kid I learned how to memorize by word/number associations. Almost everything is exactly how I "thought" of it in my mind to remember. The only difference is #9, I think of calling 911 if something is wrong. Thank you for posting. It helps considerably. The toughest one for me still is #11. Can't master that one yet.

This sounds oddly familiar..... I still have this almost exact memorized from when I was in boot camp using these tricks. It really works.

My neighbor is retired from the military. We were talking about the general orders and he could only name number two off the top of his head. Personally, this is extremely helpful for me. I had no clue where to begin memorizing, but this is really easy! I use dice to choose them, the number on each one and then the total, three in all. It really does help!

11 General Orders ~ The easy way
One thing that can help with memorization is just to see something over and over.
So I put together these computer wallpapers with the general orders. Feel free to use them. http://s1272.beta.photobucket.com/us...neral%20Orders I also did a set for the Code of Conduct. Memorization of the Code of Conduct is not required for RTC. Code of Conduct: http://s1272.beta.photobucket.com/us...20of%20Conduct

I find it extremely helpful if you remember to first 2 words of the order,
To take To walk To report To repeat To quit To Receive (Obey and pass on) To talk To give To call To salute To be The rest kind of just flows. |

This has been really helpful, only problem I have is with the longer ones, 2, 6 and 11.
Also helps writing them down, repitition.

i used the top references for doing them out of order but what really hit it home for me was getting a notebook and start writing them down at least 5 times a piece

Use of word associations.. That is quite ingenious really. Wish I had this a few days ago. Would have saved me a bit more time and effort. I've (un?)fortunately already memorized them pretty easily. Did it the old fashioned way. I just repeated and recited them. Learning these cues should help with recall speed, which proves it will still remain invaluable.
What irked me the most was the slight details and the unorthodox grammatical flow as a whole (at least from my own manner of speech). For example, the 2nd General Order, "..keeping always on alert.." I've always had to correct myself from saying "..always keeping on alert..". I'd advise everyone to get into the habit of reciting it verbally without hesitance and with the formalities included. "Petty Officer, this future sailor's/Recruit (in RTC Boot Camp) 3rd General Order of a Sentry, is to report all violations, I am instructed to enforce."

The only real big problem I have is with 6 because 4 years of MCJROTC trying to convert into NAVY :l not exactly working too well. Thanks for this though hopefully I can get my DEP pool to see this and it'll help them.

Yeah this was extremely helpful. I've read them before but didn't start memorizing until today...thanks for reminding me Kelley to remember them--its probably a good idea since I'm leaving in 57 days.
But with the help of this easy list, I was able to recite all 11 general orders after about 10 minutes of studying of this list. Very helpful! |

The website Quizlet.com is awesome because it has a lot of flashcards in the database you have access to. They have a website and an app you can register for and study all the stuff required to learn at RTC. 11 General Orders, Chain of Command, Insignias and Ranks etc. You can learn them, match them up, and other study "games". I am a teacher and use them for certain things in my English class. They really help a lot. I am making my husband study them before he leaves.

I'm trying to learn the GO's. I did AFJROTC in High School for 3 1/2 years. It's definitely mind boggling but I'm doing it! The guide is a definite help, and should help me memorize them quicker. I have a DEP meeting this Wednesday so hopefully I have all 11 and the creed down before then.
Thanks for the guide! |

I was doing this myself, but this helped me come up with associations for the ones I was struggling with (the 7th, 8th and 11th especially)
I basically have the Orders themselves memorized but have been having trouble recalling them by number. |
