In my time I saw a few of these missions go out.
They still got inspected.
The inspecting officer or sgt. was't looking for shined boots and perfect uniforms though, but loose equipment, clean weapons, ammo etc.
In our teams that sort of thing was totally unnecessary. Everyone knew everyone, teams were small generally, except for the hatchet teams. You carried what you knew you would need and you knew, KNEW, the rest had your back without question
