The military's daily reminder that the sun is not your friend.
means A bugle call or signal sounded early in the morning to wake military personnel and summon them to assemble.
from From French réveillez, the imperative of réveiller, 'to wake up' — built from re- plus éveiller, 'to rouse,' which traces back to Latin vigilare, 'to keep watch' (a cousin of 'vigil' and 'vigilant'). English soldiers borrowed the French command in the 1600s, and the spelling has wandered ever since, but the meaning never left its bed: wake up, on your feet.
