11 General Orders ~ The easy way

The best way I found to memorize them is to do it in two parts. The first part being to just study and memorize the correct wording of each, without worrying about the order they come in. Secondly, memorize the order by just the first two words of each of them. It's easier to remember the order of two words than entire orders, and if you've already memorized the wording of each, when you recall the first two words the rest will come naturally.

It also helps to make "mental checkpoints" when you memorize the order. 3 and 4 are the double R's, report and repeat, and repeating comes after reporting naturally. 6 is the first long one. 9 is to call, by remembering 911 etc. 11's the last long one, then everything else just falls in between them. That's just what worked for me, just come up with however works for you like the ways in the image.
