Any tips on learning the General Orders & Chain of Command

I memorized the general orders by listening to them on YouTube over and over

Well, the chain of command will change once you get there.

There's a good mnemonic device on this site.
I learned them by saying them backwards. So the first is:
"To take charge of this post and all government property in view."
I learned it by saying to myself:
"View. In view. Property in view. Government property in view. All government property in view. And all government property in view. Post and all government property in view. This post and all government property in view. Of this post and all government property in view.
Charge of this post and all government property in view. Take charge of this post and all government property in view. To take charge of this post and all government property in view."

Also, learn them out of order, because you'll b asked "spew hats your fifth general order?" or something like that.
