When it comes to inspections, it isn’t how good you look, it’s how much better you look than the other guy. – Michael N. Scherck QMCS(SW) Two commands equally prepared for an inspection that are inspected using the same standards will most likely receive identical grades. However, a command that is presented with flair and imagination will normally create a longer lasting impression on the inspection party. Inspections by higher authority ensure that all commands, units, or activities are complying with the policies, procedures, and standards that govern the Navy. Inspections in the Navy are conducted in every area of human activity or interest. The following are the broad categories of Navy inspections: Administrative Material Personnel Operational THE NAVAL INSPECTOR GENERAL The Naval Inspector General (NAVINSGEN) is detailed from officers on the active-duty list in grades above captain.
