General Orders #1

Company B, 89 Illinois

1. Start drinking water asap, get your body ready for the weekend

2. Know the manual (Casey's) before the event

3. Morning roll calls will be done in full marching order, so get your stuff ready as soon as your up. We need to be able to move quickly and early.

4. Once you get your rations for the WEEKEND on friday cook them so you are able to eat on the move

5. Lighten your load, if you don't think you'll need it, save you feet and leave it home. However, bring weather items with you and we will have an update report on friday to help you determine whether you need an item or not and can leave it in the car.

6. Arrive with a CLEAN fully functional weapon! This include the bayonet!

7. If you have a small oil cloth or a small pocket sized peroid container with oil please bring it. We will be sleeping on arms and there is a 100% chance of weather, so be prepared. NCO's this is a must for you.

8. HAVE FUN AND LIVE THE LIFE FOR 48 HOURS!!! :tounge_sm
Leave all negative thoughts at home and be ready for a great event!!!


P.S. If you mess up stacking arms by Casey's, it really makes the 1 Sgt angry and he's one person even I don't like to tick off :angry_smi
