  Here are a few common orders you may encounter as a Starfleet officer:
  
  As you were: Continue what you were doing.
  
  At ease: Relax but pay attention.
  
  Attention: Stand at attention.

  Belay: Stop whatever it is you are doing or about to do. Also used to
  countermand an order from a lower-ranking officer to a third subordinate.
  
  Bosun's Whistle: Non-verbal cue to come to attention. When piped over the 
  intercom, a cue to pay attention to the following announcement.
  
  Carry on: Continue what you have suggested or what you were doing.

  Dismissed: When your character is dismissed by a ranking officer, that is
  your character's cue to walk out of the room. Saying anything more than a
  simple acknowledgement of the order ('Aye sir' or 'Yes sir') can be 
  considered insubordination. It effectively means: This conversation is over,
  leave now. When said to a formation, it means break formation and you are
  relieved of duties for the day. 
  
  Fall in: Assemble together in a formation and pay attention.
  
  Fall out: Break formation and return to your duties.

  Keep me informed: Go out of your way to give the ranking officer regular 
  status reports.

  Proceed: Continue what you have suggested or what you were doing.

  Report: This command is given by a ranking officer for a report on the
  situation, right here, right now, without an opinion added to it.  Also 
  'Status report.'

  Status: When phrased as a question, it allows for a situational report with
  your character's opinion attached.
