( From Wikipedia )
"General Orders for Sentries is the official title of a set of rules governing guard duty in the United States military. While any guard posting has rules that may go without saying ("Stay awake", for instance), these orders are carefully detailed and particularly stressed in the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, and United States Coast Guard. Also known as the "11 General Orders" or simply "The General Orders", the list is meant to cover any possible scenario a sentry might encounter on duty.
Recruits learn these orders verbatim while at boot camp and are often expected to retain the knowledge to use for the remainder of their military careers. It is not uncommon for a Drill Instructor or (after boot camp) an inspecting officer to ask a question such as, "What is your sixth general order?" and expect an immediate (and correct) reply."
