Question about General Orders at recruit training.
I recognize that this may seem trivial, but it's been bothering me and I tried searching both this site and the internet and didn't come up with anything.
So, if all recruits are supposed to speak in third person, are we supposed to alter the parts of the General Orders that use "I" and "my"?
For example, the third General Order is "To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce." At recruit training am I supposed to change it to third person?
I know this is a simple detail to stress about, but I've spent the past few months learning them exactly as they were written and if I need to say them differently, I still have time to re-memorize. Thanks for any help.

When actually reciting the order you do NOT need to say it in the third person
Example:
DI: What is your 3rd general order recruit?
You/recruit: This recruits 3rd general order is to report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce
