  1. REST ✔
  2. AT EASE
  3. Parade, REST

Why: At REST, cadets may relax and talk quietly but keep the right foot in place. AT EASE is the same, except cadets stay silent.

Huh, didn't know that: FALL OUT lets cadets break ranks, but they must stay nearby so the unit can re-form quickly.

Why did the flight love the REST command? Finally, time to catch up.
