Looks fairly normal and uneventful to me. Seen all sorts of (X)C-135's, KC-10's, C-17's and other military type heavies do those type of landings from a visual downwind. Do it the civi way at a fighter base, and you will be accused of flying the dreaded bomber pattern and ruining ATC's flow.
Not sure missing the touch down point by half a mile is really up to military requirements...
