Marine here. This reads like it was written by a cook or admin clerk. I've conducted vehicle control points and searches overseas and not having a magazine inserted or a round in the chamber would be crazy. I was in charge of area security for a section of Camp Pendleton... all my Marines had a magazine inserted (although no round in the chamber unless a threat presented itself). In all my years in the military I haven't seen a single barrel flag insert. Shouldered or carried at port arms? Go ahead and stand post at port arms or shoulder arms for eight hours and tell me how your elbows feel.
His list is neither practical or tactically sound
Just remember the basics:
1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded
2. Never point your weapon at anyone you don't intent to shoot
3. Keep your weapon on safe until you are ready to fire
4. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire
5. Know your target and what is beyond
His advice is not practical and could potentially be dangerous in the real world.
