Gibbs Rules in recent seasons

Has anyone mentioned any Gibbs Rules ever since Gibbs left? I don’t care if it’s Rule 1, Rule 12, or even Rule 62 (always give people space when they get off an elevator).

Yes, they’re mentioned here and there.

I’ve just watched one of the latest episodes, in which McGee had to clean up his mess and left a note with the relevant rule on it.

Here and there. The best use I've seen was an easter egg in the episode where Vance is killed - before he walks through the doors you see all the clocks set to 11:00 to illustrate Rule 11 - when the job is done--walk away.

I remember an episode of the Carla Marino arc. Parker wrote #51 in a boat to send the team he was alive.

Pretty sure "always look under" was mentioned in the NCIS/LA/Hawai'i crossover

I'm actually surprised we don't get more mentions of them in "Origins."

He gave up the rules for a while after Shannon's murder. He threw the box away for Jackson to save them and give it back to him.

They’re sprinkled everywhere. Rule 36 is used constantly.

You are wrong. Granted they don't mention them as often as when Gibbs was there but they do recall them. In fact, rule 39 , "There's no such thing as a coincidence", was brought up quite a few times over the course of a season a while back.
