Nice honest post of yours earlier, BTW - and was that the "golden era" of which Tuc et al speak?
The Army Air dispatchers were just the same. Rag Packers at AFPSU would sign off and stamp up the old 28fts.
Depending on SPM (Supplies Proceeding Men) the Despatchers would ope the pack add a week link between the static line and Apex and recluse the pack without signing anything.
Dragartist made himself unpopular when he found out, insisting that the Despacther signed for the maintenance. Of course they were not Authorised to do this. Years ago they even packed the supply drop parachutes. We had several maldrops where the finger was pointed at the rag packer.
