If you are not satisfied, call the corporal of the

guard and make the person or party wait until the

corporal comes and takes charge of them.

    If two or more persons approach a sentinel’s post

from different directions at the same time, they are

challenged in turn and required to halt and remain

halted until you give the order to advance. The

senior is advanced first always.

    The rank for advancing persons or parties are

as follows: Commanding officer, officer of the day,

officer of the guard, officers, patrols, reliefs» non-

commissioned officers of the guard in order of their

rank, friends.

     A sentinel never will allow himself to be surprised

nor permit two parties to advance upon him at the

same time.

    This challenging and advancing of persons re-

quires some thought and explanation, so ask your

instructors for more information about it.

    When you are on post you will have comrades

who lack the nerve to take a chance themselves, so

they will beg you to let them out through your line.

If you do you are taking the chance, not them,

    On duty all friendship ceases. Remember that.
