Which statement is not one of the general orders?

• A. I will guard the post and quit my post only when properly relieved.
• B. I will obey my special orders and perform all my duties in a military manner.
• C. I will report violations, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions to the Commander of the Relief.
• D. I will salute all officers I meet.

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is the exact wording of the sentry’s general orders. One of the formal orders directs a sentinel to salute all officers and all colors and standards not in formation. Because the statement here says only “I will salute all officers I meet” and omits the reference to colors and standards, it isn’t one of the general orders in its exact form. The other items align with the typical duties of a sentry: guard the post and quit only when relieved, follow special orders and perform duties militarily, and report violations or emergencies to the proper authority.
