An off-color parody of these guard duty rules:
- I will walk my post from flank to flank
- And take no shit from any rank

The correct title of the 11 general orders is General Orders for Sentries. I have removed the redundant information here and posted a link to the article with the rest of the examples listed on this page. I will add Uncle Ed's suggestion to that page as well.
If Order 66 can have its own article, it only makes sense to give real-life ones their own, too. ;) Kafziel 22:33, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Merger proposal[edit]
Does the G.O. pertain to Civil Service employee even if they work for Military, also if the employee is a DOD Police or a Security Guard? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.55.197.26 (talk) 10:09, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
It is proposed to merge Standing order into this page.
- The standing order page has limited content, consisting of a single definition line ("a standing order" is a general order of indefinite duration) and two examples of standing orders;
- The two topics are extremely closely related, with standing orders simply being a subset of general orders. There seems no logical reason to refer readers to another page on this fine distinction;
- Neither page is of such length as to make a merger unwieldy; and
- A merger would create a more user-friendly article by allowing readers to access both sets of info at a single source.
