[dotKev]

They really aren't too difficult to memorize. I just kept going over them one by one and eventually got it. A lot of other poolees I know wrote them down over and over until they could do it by heart.

[crodgers4101]

yeah they are way easier then i thought.

[Buhler]

Yeah once you get the first few down you get the hang of it and it becomes easier to memorize the rest... until you hit the last one lol.

tbh the last one was easy for me. number 6 was harder then 11.

[wilsontc11]

yeah... make sure you guys memorize them. dont pull a PFC guthier and not know any of your general orders in 3rd phase... lol

[Rough Hands]

To be honest, if you've got a general idea of what they are before you leave, you'll be fine... Your drill instructors will have ditties for you to scream at the top of your lungs on a regular basis and you WILL remember your general orders.

[Kiri]

Nope.

[Kevin691]

I have the General Orders, the rank structure, the Marine Hymn, The Rifle Creed, The Leadership Traits and the basic Marine Corps information all memorized.

[soon2bMarine10]

Same here i have been studying this info for a while and i have been on this site sudying the bootcamp guide and now im ready for my ship date!!!

[Nerd]

I came into the DEP skinny and weak as hell. But now I'm really strong and I know all my knowledge. You will be forced to learn many many things in the Corps and at Boot camp. Best start learning how to multi-learn now

[Pylon]

I found MP3s online of someone slowly speaking a lot of knowledge topics: general orders, leadership traits, leadership principles, etc.

I just played one at a time on infinite repeat in the car or on my iPod until I could recite it from memory without the recording. Might as well make good use of the time sitting in the car or on the subway.

can you give me the link to that

[The motivater]

the general orders are easy and learning the enlisted ranks were easy to i can them at the drop of a hat

[Pylon]

can you give me the link to that

I typed "General Orders MP3" into Google and the very first result was the MP3 I started with. May I suggest you read "A Message to Garcia"?

[Big Tuna]

I used my own iPod and recorded a voice memo of ME reciting the 11 general orders (while reading them from the book). Then, For about a week and a half, I would play it all the time... while driving my car, on the stereo when doing stuff around the house (and nobody else was home), on some headphones as I was falling asleep.... It would automatically play and then repeat itself at the end.

After the first day or so, I started trying to verbally say them out loud along with my own recording. If I messed up, I had to wait till it started over to try again. And if I screwed up again, I had to wait again. I would just try to remember what I screwed up each time and try NOT to screw it up the following time.

And as for remembering which general order is which number, I tried coming up with little rules or hints for each one in regards to the NUMBER of the rule. Some examples:

General Order #4: I think of the number four, I think of somebody screaming FOOOOUR in a golf game... shouting.... shouting at others.... ah! Relaying messages to people far away!
General Order #5: I think of the number five, I think about the fact that many people work a "nine-to-five" job. And what do they do at FIVE? They quit! Quitting my my post!

You get the idea.

[shadox]

You guys forgot General Order 12&13

12. To walk my post flank to flank, take no sh*t from any rank.
13. Walk my post round and round, f*ck this sh*t I'm sitting down.

[PooleeGewarges]

He got the info off from the USMC weapons website. I will leave the knowledge of the M16 when I am in boot camp.

[ChrrySkoal]

Yea I did but i was thinking it'll all be good to know lol:D

[IHaveEGA843]

SMH, I need to hop on the ball and learn these orders especially with the possibilty of me shipping at the end of this month!!!!!

[holey336]

i got the general orders and rank structure down pat in only a couple of hours each, and made flash cads to go over every once in a while so i dont forget, but i still have trouble with the leadership traits(jj did tie buckle) im good now but i kept thinking dependability was dedicated, usually forget endurance also but remember in a few seconds, also remebered the military alphabet and most of the rifleman's creed

Im having a crazy problem learning the general orders Iv only been a poolee for about a month and I only the 1st two down. I'm not really book smart but somehow im making high honors this year...never made the honor roll before except in 7th grade...motivation much? haha:banana:

[Nerd]

Pretty close, Lake9. Keep working on those small little details, or the DI's will have your ass

i guess im kind of book smart, or at least i was, but what i did was read the first 5 non stop like 12-15 times, then see if i could repeat em if i got stuck i just looked at it again n tried to remember "ok i got stuck on 3" n go over 3 a few times and then do all 5 again, once i got the first 5 i did the same thing with the last 6. i thought it would take me days but it actually came really quick n surprised me, same thing with rank did e1-e5 then e6-e9, the last 4 officers are easy to remember because of the diddy "be my little general" so the first 6 officers were easy broken into groups of 3. a psych professor once told me any body can remember anything if the repeat it to themselves 21 times in a row, repetition is key, hope that helps
