I’m ill and my NCO wants to inspect my room. Is it plausible for him to conduct a room inspection and disrupt the rest I need for recovery?

Just open the door, nod your head in agreement and go back to bed when they leave.

Not all stripe wearers be the same. Most NCO's I know would reiterate the following statement to some degree.

"You're sick? Stay away from me, I have (Stuff/Kids/Etc) to deal with. Let me know when your white cells sack up and fix your body, clean your room with bleach, drink some OJ or something, stay away from me."

Also you told your NCO your room was messy and that you weren't cleaning it? I will not tell you to lie, I will suggest you not volunteer information needlessly. Some of them get unnecessarily hooah or have a need to micromanage something.

The flu sucks but if you're in chest agonizing pain maybe get a second opinion and hit up doc again.

Sick Story: Went to sick call, was sick, fluid excretions, good times, was told to take pills, drink water and sleep. NCO told me not to attend PT or even come into work. Free pass to sleep and play video games while drinking pills with hot tea all day. The work load wasn't heavy enough for them to need me anyway, NCO made a good call.

SNCO disagreed and told me to attend PT. Roger, attend PT. Constant coughing during exercises, SNCO got in my face about it. I threw up on his shoes. Don't feel bad for him, no self preservation instinct, face to face with a sick cougher that's projecting fluid? He's an idiot, stripes or no stripes.

So yeah clean up your room a bit, shouldn't be too bad. Enjoy getting someone sick, they probably deserve it.

Yes, it is plausible and possible and very likely to happen. Quarters for you does not mean you're quarantined from everyone else per se. Tidy the room a little. Answer the door in your PJs looking dis-shelved. Go back to bed after they've been there. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. Also, if you're in near constant agonizing pain....are you sure it's the flu?
