I have seen pictures floating around about NG with no magazines inserted into their rifles and that being a problem. First of all unless your on post you should never have a rifle with a magazine inserted. Standard protocol in the Marine Corps was to keep rifles condition 4 unless manning post then you would go condition 3 which is magazine inserted no round in chamber. The reason why is for possibility of a misfire or accidental shooting. So stop reading into these pics like there’s a problem. If they are not on post they should not have a magazine inserted. Just wanted to clear this up
