Question

I'm confused that I almost have same meaning of #1 and #2.

When we say as a form of an imperative sentence,
What does each of #1 and #2 mean ?
I'd also like to know the difference of them.
If you could make some dialog as example, That'd be better for me to understand them.
------------------------------------------
#1- Be ready!!
#2- Get ready!
-----------------------------------------

One more thing
Please correct my sentense for my better English composition.

The only difference in meaning I see is that #2 definitely implies that when the command is issued, the person receiving it is NOT ready. The command is to begin the process right now which will lead to being ready.

#1 does not address that issue. Context can refer to a future time at which the person is to be ready. Or context can make clear that the person is to be ready right now, and maintain a constant state of readiness.

Essentially, the difference is between doing something and being something.

(That's a rather unsophisticated view!)

I'd also like to know the difference between them.

The football team is getting ready for a game with a major opponent. They are in the locker room.
The coach says to the team:
"You will play against a very strong team. They have lots of tricks, and they are very smart players. But we have practiced a lot, and you are faster. But, be ready for anything they might do! "

Then he says, "OK, let's get ready for the game. Get dressed in your uniforms, and warm up on the field."
