I was a Marine rigger from 93-97 in Lejuene and I can tell you that a rigger did this. Access to the personnel chute locker is limited to a few people.

I agree. According to the stories, records are kept of who packed the chutes, and access to the process is highly limited.

If a Philipino waiter from the canteen wandered into the room where the packing is done, he'd be extremely noticeable.

No one wants to say that a marine did this. But even in the finest organizations you can get one bad apple--someone with a grudge, a drug habit, feeling suicidal, maybe mental problems.

They have to resist the impulse to cover this up and nail whoever did it before someone gets killed. And it's not just cutting parachutes. Would you want to depend on the person who was responsible for this in some future combat situation?

I didn't know Marines jumped out of airplanes... Is this standard or were they force recon or something?
