Should NCOs inspect barracks during the weekend?

its fucking stupid, another reason why no one reenlists

Once a week would be sufficient

I’m a Vietnam Vet served 4 years never had inspection over the week end.

Boys will be boys... That being said I've been in quite a few married members units in various housing that looked like a dumpster was emptied there.

This to me sounds like a punishment. I can understand if they have been turds in a schoolhouse or if they are getting complacent but not keeping someone under a lens without a just cause.

My first unit we got inspected to death it was by the book always just like being in basic and AIT still I hated it had no privacy that is why we left and stayed in the bars and they wonder what causes alchoholism

When I was active duty and living in the barracks, we did have barracks inspections. When I was stationed at Bitburg, they did away with inspection because we were more responsible and the army wanted a better quality of living for the single soldiers

It's down to the leadership the barracks or property of the units therefore their responsible for them and if you got untidy soldiersl you are going to check them more. As for housing they are privatised there fore the can't really be inspected without permission unless in extreme circumstance.

I must be waaay too old. Back in the 1990's, both when I was on sea duty and when I had shore duty, all rooms got at least a spot check daily during the week. It wasn't as thorough as the Friday inspection, but my squad leaders or Platoon Sgt. poked his head into every room every day. Add to that, when I was at Camp Lejeune, we were required to keep our curtains open during the duty day, so that anyone can see into every room whenever they want to during the duty day. Having said that, weekend inspections seem a little over the top, unless there have been specific problems. In that case, it should be applied only to problem children, and not everyone generally

No! Everybody needs time to unwind! If it's not basic training or AIR then no the inspection does not need to happen! The NCO and the lower enlisted need to blow off steam! That's the only way our Military System works!
