Questioning People • When someone approaches you while on watch you should respond with, “Halt, Identify yourself” • If the person responds with their rank and name and you can identify the name have them step forward with their I.D. out so you can confirm who they are then you may let them pass

  6. Relieving the watch • When it is 15 minutes to the next watch the watch stander (or in the case of 2 watch standers only send one watch stander) should wake up his/her relief • Be sure to record the time you went to wake up your relief • If your relief doesn’t wake up for his/her watch inform the JOOD/OOD
