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."
