Should NCOs inspect barracks during the weekend?

Only time I did room inspections on weekends as corrected training. If the soldiers area was not up to standards during the week. When I was a young solder the 1st sergeant told me ours rooms should always be ready for inspection.

Lt. Farnsworth did. Kicking the beer cans down the aisle. OOPS!

A squad leader should check on his troops every day not only to make sure that their Room is sanitary but make sure their well being and all around well being is ok It may seem intrusive however catch something before it goes bad

Unlike civilian life, the reality is there is no such thing as clocking out of work. The military has
you 24/7, inspections and all.

Absolutely! 24/7, holiday and/or weekends. Throw-in a UA and that's a G2G for many NCOER/OER bullets! Seriously. It's not creating a level of "anxiety" for SM's just an "accountability" of possible poor decisions & the consequences thereof.

As a First Sgt I made it a Point to walk throw Barracks every Day, Weekends and Holidays included. I didn't per say inspected them, and didn't enter a room unless there was a reason. It also gave me a chance to greet and Talk to my Troops One on One. other then across my Desk. I also expected my other Sr NCO's to do same. My Troops Knew that they were Liable to see Top 24/7,anywhere any Time.

Yes! I was an em and an o. I lived in the barracks no problem. I also livedndiring the day whited experience of no inspections, it was a damn disaster. Don’t like the barracks at 30, get promoted!

My weekend barracks inspections consisted of the PSG simply checking on soldiers over the weekend.

Only once a week, should do it. Monday

As an Infantryman in my first enlistment they were a daily occurrence with a TA-50 layout most Fridays. Location is really insignificant. Conus or OCONUS. It's the Military and NCO's as well as all other Ranks are on duty 24/7. Weekend "off duty" time or passes are a privilege, not to be expected off hand. A good orderly and clean living area is indicative of good discipline. An NCO should have the right and the Obligation to inspect anytime and often. The more the Military tries to be like a Civilian Job the less it will act like a Military when necessary. Just this guys opinion....which are free and worth every penny as they say.....
Cheers all. God Bless all who are serving.
