ATTACHMENT F SCHOOL: Personnel Inspection Guidelines 1. Inspection Formation: Personnel Inspection will be completed as part of the Squad Unarmed event the squad will form adjacent to the drill area and will be inspected prior to its performance. 2. Inspection Uniform: The designated uniforms for the drill meet will be either the Winter Blue, Class A or Dress Blue uniforms (no sweaters). The wearing of nonstandard uniform items (sashes, ascots, spats, etc.) will result in a reduction of the team s inspection grade by 50%. High gloss KORFAM style shoes are not authorized for the inspection unless they are standard issue to every cadet in the school s JROTC program. The wearing of these items by cadets will result in point deductions by the inspectors. The camouflage/utility uniform is not considered an appropriate uniform for inspection and will not be permitted in any of the competitive events. 3. Inspection Procedures: a. The commander will march his/her unit onto the inspection deck, form the unit for inspection and report the command to the head judge. b. Judges will inspect cadets using the criteria established in Tabs (B) and (C) of this Appendix. Not more than 30 seconds should be required to inspect any given cadet. Each cadet will be assigned a grade of 1 to 10, based on the judge s impression of the cadet s appearance, bearing and knowledge. Given the differences in uniforms between the services, grooming standards and instructional techniques, the key to a successful inspection lies in uniformity, knowledge and personal composure. c. Upon completion of the inspection, the unit commander will reform the command and march the unit out of the inspection area. Tab A Inspection Questions Tab B Inspection Score Sheet 9
TAB A ATTACHMENT F: INSPECTION QUESTIONS 1. The asking of question is a part of the personnel inspection process. While there is no requirement to question cadets, judges may do so as a means of determining cadet poise, knowledge and confidence. The ability of a cadet to respond to these questions may be taken into account when determining the inspection grade. 2. There are limits to a cadet s military knowledge, especially when you combine cadets from all four services. The question asked of a cadet will not be intended to embarrass, but to gauge his/her ability to think and respond under conditions most will agree are more stressful than usual. Cadets will not be stressed during the inspection. Question will be limited to those in this enclosure and any clarifying questions regarding uniforms/uniformity the judges deem appropriate. 3. The questions which may be asked of cadets include: a. Day and Date b. Cadet s Name, Rank/Rate c. Cadets Age d. Number of year s Cadet has been in JROTC e. Cadet s class/year in school f. Questions regarding ribbons/devices on the uniform g. Description of cadet rank insignia 4. As the list of possible questions is small, uniformity of response carries more significance. This SOP will not presume to dictate how questions will be answered; that is left to the instructor staff at each school. However, within the unit being inspected there should be uniformity in framing a response to any question posed to a cadet. For example, a judge asks a cadet who his/her senior JROTC instructor is. The cadet may respond, Sir, the senior instructor at XXX High School is Major Pain, or The senior instructor at my school is Major Pain. There are any numbers of ways the question may be answered. As long as cadets answer questions in the same manner, uniformity within the unit exists. 10
