Is your leadership allowed to conduct a Barracks Room inspection without warning or without me being present?

So I live on fort bliss, and recently there was a random room inspection done. Just for me not anyone else. I live in a suite type barracks room, and I was just wondering if even though it's a government owned building, are they allowed to go through your room without your knowledge? Even when we do...

If the barracks manager/LNO/NCO is inspecting my room, can I throw a padlock onto my closet door? Will/can he make me open it?

So I get out of the Army Dec. 26th but I begin ETS leave on November 30th. My roommate has been complaining to the barracks manager non-stop about dirty dishes left by me when I've only left 2-3 dirty plates at a time in the sink.

 

Anyway, the BM is going to inspect my room at 0530 every for a week t...

Is there any reason that I would not be able to bring my 3D Printer with me while living in the Barracks?

So, Im planning to enlist as soon as I graduate from High school, and I was wondering if there is any reason that I wouldn't be allowed to have my 3D Printer with me, or any of my Arduino/Prototyping equipment for that matter, while living in the barracks at my duty station.

I’m ill and my NCO wants to inspect my room. Is it plausible for him to conduct a room inspection and disrupt the rest I need for recovery?

I had told him my room was a little messy and that I wasn’t cleaning it up. I had told him that it’s been 2 ...

The rebel flag found in barracks inspection; what action would you take?

While common sense to some says this probably shouldn't be there, is there anything that specifically says yes or ...

Why does the Army discriminate against single soldiers?

First let me say I am biased in my opinion since I am a single soldier. The Army stacks the deck against single soldiers, in a variety of ways. There are standards that single soldiers are forced to obey that married soldiers are not. Purely just because of their marriage.

Can a CSM go into POV’s without the owner present?

So our BN CSM walked through our barracks parking lot, and began going into POVs and looking around them and inside of them while the owner is not present.
I'm curious if he is allowed to do that, I haven't found any regs saying he can or cannot do that, does anyone have any insight?
