Should NCOs inspect barracks during the weekend?

Leave the troops alone on the weekend. As long as the barracks is dress right dress on Monday no worries. They know what is expected, they don't need a babysitter! If they do, then you have a week command structure in place! I never had any problems with my guys back in the day.

Personally as an NCO. I think a walk through on both days is fine for things not getting out of hand. But Monday morning it better look like the weekend never happened!

If I remember correctly, we had field day inspections weekly and those were on Thursdays if we were not in the field

Boo fucking hoo! You are in the MILITARY!!! You signed the damn contract, get over it! And YES, they DO inspect homes off post.

Coming up the rank. I have barrack check every weekend by NCO. NCO check the laundry room, latrine, hallway, stairway and common areas. If it need to be clean then who ever he come across too, so sorry, you are it.
So what the big deal. Your it the Army now, deal with it.

It’s really not that new of a thing maybe daily, but when we pulled CQ we would inspect rooms. We would also ID females coming into the barracks to ensure they were of age cause let’s just put it out there a lot of them lies trying to get a soldier. It wasn’t an invasive check just a pop your head in and see how soldiers were doing when door was open. Once a month we would have inspections and issues were taken care of in concerns to maintenance at that time. I even remember a six can beer policy that was implemented and several soldiers buying six cans Party Balls of Heineken or what not just to be in the right but the wrong at the same time. When my wife arrived we even had our on post apartment inspected monthly by the building commander. If you take care of yourself and your housing there should not be an issue as long as you are not inconveniencing the soldier. I think daily is ridiculous though why should you have to hold someone’s hand to make them take care of their on housing.

At some point the barracks personel need the down time. That's what the time is for. In saying that should the rooms be squared away, yes. But not necessarily Monday morning ready. There will be times when it's necessary but not continuous. Not to mention getting up early Saturday morning get unifrom in and standing by as well as. For both being inspected as well for those having to do the inspecting. So where is the downtime suppose to happen. But to flip the coin, if your quarters remain squared away don't have much to worry about.

Only if CQ is derelict in duty.

ya know back in the cold war era there were daily inspections the real question is when did the nco corps get so lazy

NCO's should be expected visit the barracks at any time. I think weekends and holidays should be reserved for making sure drinking binges are kept in control, music is at a respectful level for neighbors, and trash is picked up and in the proper receptacle. Basically, looking out for the health and welfare of all. Checking if a Soldier made his bed should be reserved for Monday through Friday. Keep in mind, I am retired and my opinion no longer means much.
