The 11 general orders refers to the Marine Corps guidlines for keeping watch during fire watch. Now only the Marine Corp has 11 however the Marines made one adition the 12th general order which is "To walk my post from flank to flank and take no shit from any rank"
so if a corporal is on guard and is instructed to let no one in for any reason and an officer demands entrance this is where the 12th General order of a Sentry comes into play, the corporal must tell the officer to leave and use force if neccessary, although under normal circumstances such an act would get the corporal demoted

The Navy, like the Marine Corps, has 11 published General Orders of a Sentry.
However, since the first orr dipped into the water, Sailors have been smart-asses, if you give us 11 refined General Orders, we will give you back a vulgar 12th.
The 12th General Order of a Sentry is:
To walk my beat and beat my meat and fuck everything with in 15ft,
And Sir/Ma'am you are too fucking close!
This Definition is circa 1981, Naval Recruit Training Center, San Diego CA.

How the phase The 12th General Order of a Sentry - Navy , would be used
Officer: Recruit what is your 12th General Order !
Recruit: Sir/Ma'am, My 12th General Order is .... !
Officer: Recruit what is your 12th General Order !
Recruit: Sir/Ma'am, My 12th General Order is .... !
