I will be getting married this Tuesday and will be getting off-post housing. Will NCOs be able to inspect, like in the barracks?

No. It's your house.

No, but your commander can order a health & welfare inspection if the need arises.

As you can tell by the mixed responses inspections are kind of a grey area. Housing regulation sas you can but civilian laws say no. So the unofficial answer is yes your supervisor or someone in your chain of command might stop by for a "visit" ... maybe. Is it going to be like the barracks .. no. Congratulations on the upcoming marriage, worry about what is most important, your family or soon to be family.

I was a roommate to a soldier when I first got out and his unit did welfare checks cause he was a slob in the barracks; his NCO's thought they could come in and cause havoc, well, I told them next time they entered MY home, there better be respect towards me (since it was MY home) and when I asked if 1SG was still this person, their faces went white and next time they treated me better then gold cause First SGT told them she called me to say my men disrespected her.

You have NO worry about that happening and just enjoy the new lives together, cause the adventure is going to be worth it all.

Yes...and she better know how to stand at attention when it happens. Start training her early. When the kids come along make sure they know the chain of command before their ABC's and replace their cartoons with power point.

Kidding...they won't mess with you unless you either need it(you're a pig) or you want it(yard of the quarter type award).

Good luck and congrats!

Just stay clean. When you become an NCO you already squared away, knew whats wrong and whats right

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. I found when I was in about 45 years ago even though I was in Korea we were allowed to live outside of the compound but we had to maintain our bunk, wall lockers, foot locker, etc. I am sure that was a lot different than CONUS duty was..

they can't touch you if you are in civilian off post housing... unless there are changes to the Regs... It just has to meet initial standards or Government Housing standards or Regs... there is Usually a List of approved Housing facilities for service members to move into... ...
