Isn't Joe Tedesco in Iraq right now, doing pretty much this?

I bet Joe is not working for $40,000 a year.

Primitive conditions, rampaging loco locals, inclement weather .... those I can handle.

I'm really wondering if maybe they don't need inspectors there so much as they do more qualified electricians supplied with the proper materials and necessary equipment to perform safe installations and make competent repairs. Everything I have read always seems to indicate that a lack of qualified workers and supplies are the root of the underlying problem.

This is a place where the "inspector" should be the "instructor". I ran into a similar situation when I was the state inspector and looking at work done by park rangers, maintenance men and volunteers. It seemed like teaching them about where the mistakes were made and showing them the right way, was the only ethical/practical thing to do. A lot of times this involves explaining the hazard we are trying to avoid. It makes the code sound more logical and easier to understand. Fortunately I had that latitude as a state employee/contractor. These Army guys will be in a similar situation. I guess that is why Tedesco is there. I learned a lot of what I know from him.
