However,  the  maintenance  officer  will  insure  that  the  entire  unpacking  effort  is  conducted  under  the  direct supervision of a qualified rigger (MOS 43E). c.  Configuration/Condition.  Acceptance of new equipment from the manufacturer is based upon inspections made of sample lots which have been randomly selected in accordance with military standards.  It is incumbent upon the using activity personnel to bear this in mind whenever equipment is first placed in service.  Changes will  sometimes  evolve  from  the  original  equipment  design  and  sometimes  contracts  are  authorized  to  make deviations in material and construction techniques.  Air delivery equipment that has been in the field cannot be expected to meet exacting manufacturing specifications; however, the equipment should closely reflect desired design characteristics.  Since repairs, modifications, and/or changes can alter or detract from the configuration originally  desired,  such  equipment  shall  be  airworthy,  safe,  of  the  desired  configuration,  and  adequate  for intended use. d.  Parachute Log Record.  The Army Parachute Log Record DA Form 10-42 or DA Form 3912 is a history- type maintenance document which accompanies the parachute canopy and pack assemblies through the period of  service  of  the  individual  assembly.    The  log  record  provides  a  means  of  recording  maintenance  actions performed on a parachute canopy assembly.  Normally, a log record is initiated and attached upon receipt by a using unit.  However, if the item is subjected to alteration or modification by a maintenance activity during the interim period from date of manufacture to receipt by a using unit, the log record will be prepared by the activity performing  the  maintenance  function.    Once  initiated,  a  log  record  will  be  attached  to  and  contained  in  an affixed  parachute  log  record/inspection  data  pocket  until  such  time  as  the  parachute  canopy  assembly  is destroyed or rendered unfit for further use or repair.  Additionally, should an item that requires a log record be transferred from one unit to another, the log record for the parachute assembly will accompany the item in the transfer action.  A prepared log record will not be removed or separated from a parachute, and especially 2-2
