How to conduct a uniform inspection

Inspection:

1. When the inspector gets into position say the following, Sir, Good (Morning/Afternoon) Sir, Cadet (Rank) (Last Name) Standing by for inspection Sir.

2. The inspector will ask you questions (about things you should've learned in NJROTC), answer with a loud clear voice. (If you get it wrong it will still sound like you're confident with your answer which they might not assess points off for having it wrong because you used a loud and clear voice)

3. If you do not know something say, "Sir/Ma'am I do not know but will find out Sir/Ma'am."

Things that an inspector will look for during an inspection:

1. Does everything look like it is in the right place and worn correctly?

2. Does the cadet display good posture?

3. Is the cap clean, neat, positioned correctly with insignia(s) in the correct location?

5. Is the cadet's face and hair clean and groomed properly, for females are the earrings the correct type, are there more than one set of earrings in the ears, or other locations?

6. Is the aiguillette worn on the correct shoulder?

7. Is the cadet wearing a plain white crew neck t-shirt (in NSU's)?

8. Has the cadet tied the necktie correctly (in SDB's)?

9. Are the cadets J-bar and collar rank in the correct location and polished?

10. Are the ribbons and/or awards/medals correct (having been earned), worn in the proper order of precedence and properly positioned on the uniform? Inspector looks for the same thing with nametag.

11. Are the Service Designations (stars) positioned properly?

12. Is the cadet wearing unauthorized jewelry?

13. Are the trousers/skirts, shirts, etc. clean, pressed, fit properly and in good repair?

14. Check gig line on male cadets and belt buckle polished with brass on brass.

15. Are the shoes shined and in good repair?

16. Is the cadet wearing black socks?
