Wonderful job of explaining the guidon manual! Well done! WooHoo! This is well thought out, explained and executed. I'd like to suggest that you use the Marine terms of "Strong Grip" (what you call "Regular") and "Weak Grip" (what you call "Taco" :-) . Other than that, I think you've done an excellent job of explaining the USAF way of doing things for the guidon!!

One more thing: a guidon comes up 6 to 8 inches, gotta have some leeway in there. More:
2. OK, two more things: When reaching across with the left hand, reach to the base of the right thumb, grasp the flagstaff and bring the left forearm to horizontal (this is around 6-8 inches) while letting go of the staff and dropping arm to Attention. Just FYI, it's what we do in the honor guard.
Also, Parade Rest would be Counted:" And, One." "And" being the movement of the right hand up to the flagstaff and "One" being the movement of Parade Rest with everyone else in the proper cadence.
@InUnits Present Arms when doing the morning report, when your LPO(Leader that marches you guys around) Salutes, when the LPO calls present arms, when a color guard passes by, when being awarded a meatball pennant, when a the National Ensign passes by, when doing an eyes right.

Some thing are correct but I am going into the Marine Corps so this doesn't really help.
