Should NCOs inspect barracks during the weekend?

Oh no not for permanent party

Walk throughs by duty NCO not much more

When I was in we had inspections every day, must be something new not having them, Army getting to soft

A PCS inspection at family housing pales compared to any barracks inspection that I ever stood...

I used to let my joes know after work that a barracks inspection was expected before pt, and if something was wrong they had til noon the same day to fix it. That was just me being courteous otherwise i was under authorization to inspect anytime since we are soldiers 24/7 365.

Yes someone in the chain of command should walk through the barracks daily to maintain discipline order and compliance. It was good enough for me when I was a young pup it is good enough for today's young pups. It should resemble a barracks not a frat house.

Great this will lead to more soldiers getting married and reviving BAH or living in base housing. Whoever did this is an idiot

Our barracks were inspected daily by the SgtMaj during the week and occasionally on weekends as well. During one of the weekend inspections a plastic wading pool filled with beer and a couple of live ducks was found in one of the rooms. The inspections were justified.

Had an "old school" PSG in '94 that defied my directive to not do daily inspections. I went to his off post quarters one Saturday morning to inspect his quarters. He said I could not. I informed him I was conducting health & welfare and insuring the money the government was paying him was be ing properly spent. He went to the IG on me, he lost. I totally agree with those that do an occasional walk thru. No daily inspection unless you do all and allow your quarters to be inspected by higher.

These are people who are putting their lives on hold to serve their country, and they can't be trusted to keep the garrison area up to spec? If that's the case, then first-time leadership is suspect.
