Should NCOs inspect barracks during the weekend?

Inspections and readiness drills make you ready for anything. When the shooting starts you don't want to try to find something it should be second nature. Oh yeah and you signed that line. Says I will follow the orders of those appointed above me. Ruck up stop bitching and be a fucking soldier.

Barracks Inspections should be done weekly after Basic is completed. You are not training men and women, you are training a United States Soldier of every branch. Rules don't stop on Friday evening and pick back up Monday morning. They are 24/7/365 and need to be addressed as such.

Daily checks, that’s over kill, health and comfort once in blue moon, and maybe a spot check on barracks rooms weekly, not the all out Chinese field day horrers, or Even the on the designated day field day, and than look for dust in ridiculous places, that I knew and I’m sure thousands before knew and worse. This isn’t about who had it worse, it’s about making it better for those who come after us. Knowing your people and their capabilities is crucial to mission accomplishment. Troops want to feel at home in the barracks, not like prisoners.

I agree with Msgt Holt. Why are they being implemented. As for me in the Corps we have our weekly field days, that's about as intrusive as it gets, and with thoughts I agree with them. It not only helps keeps everything clean, but a keeps our Marines Healthy and teaches these 18 year old kids how to actually take care of them selves.

Fu#k hood loved to do this shi! to soldiers. They didn't give a damn about you.

So glad I got my dd214 but they would stop checking me anyway mine was always White glove ready.

I routinely checked my guys before p. T. Each day.

What the hell do you have CQ, staff duty NCO and OIC for? It's their job to walk the barracks. Why would we stress our troops for the failure of the assigned staff duty? Absolutely agree with the comments of married living quarters to be included. Sometimes just let the good idea truck pass by!

Daily?? Seems logistically unnecessary.

Why is it intrusive. That is where they live and it needs to stay clean. If there was no inspections ....being young people living there it would be a pig stye. So yes. Barracks inspection are a must and if the troops living there get there feeling hurt or need more safe space then the military is not for them. J. Nick....USMC
