General Order #7 prohibits talking to anyone except in which circumstances?

• A. When safety requires a discussion with the ship's captain.
• B. No one except in the line of duty.
• C. Only to the sentry on the opposite post.
• D. Only during a medical emergency.

Answer: (B)

General Order #7 sets the standard that you may speak only when it is part of performing your official duties. This keeps you alert and the post secure by preventing casual or unnecessary conversations. You should not initiate or engage in talking unless it directly supports your assigned duties. Therefore, you may talk to no one except in the line of duty.
