I will be getting married this Tuesday and will be getting off-post housing. Will NCOs be able to inspect, like in the barracks?

Therè are ways for your Chain of Command to check on your on post housing, but in practice, it just isn't done. If they are checking on you, they are checking others. Or they have a specific wellness issue with your family, and they send someone under the Familiy Advocacy Program. It will not be frequent and it will be targeted. There is nothing to say that one of your leaders will not roll by just to check on you just for GP, just to see how you are living. They are supposed to do that. They may swing by to see your new quarters to ensure you are ok, the quarters issued to you are in good repair, and your family is settling in, especially being a newly wed. Your commander or first sergeant and or their spouse/FRG may swing by with some welcome gesture. My post was small enough, I visited each resident at one point or another as the Garrison Commander.

If you are worried about this, go talk to your first line leader and legal. It varies post to post, whether it is privatized and which ground lease the Army is using with which partners. There is not a simple yes or no. There is nothing to say that a leader from your unit won't knock on the door and ask to come in, but they are not checking to see that the bed is made or if you hangers are all facing the same direction. They are looking to see if you are surviving. Food in the fridge, the house is not an unsanitary mess. Family members are cared for etc. children are safe.

If you live on post, you will be subject to exterior upkeep standards from your area mayor that if you fail to comply, your first sergeant will get a call. Those will be inspecte by the mayor and NCOs from Garrison.

Not without cause, I did it only once. My daughter was 13 and was asked to babysit for a junior and neighbor. when she returned home she told me of the horrible conditions at their quarters. It smelled of urine and feces, was infested with fleas and cockroaches. After I went over to his quarters to see for myself, I confirmed what she had reported to me. I counselled him and gave him 30 days to clean it up. I reported it to our CO who agreed with my actions. When he didn't do as instructed it was taken out of my hands.

Only time I did them was when we got a call from housing or a landlord. Welfare check and by that time it was so extreme the guys basically were chaptered over it and whatever else was going on.
