  Cannot remembered when but at some point in my army service I found myself on active service in Famagusta and Nicosia in Cyprus ,the main fighting had just stopped but the british was still looking for bandits and looking for hidden weapons and we were living again in tents and again it was very hot.At some point we had to do four hours training on getting out of a helicopter in the air and get to the ground by making a foot ladder and how that was done you put your foot under the rope and then put your other foot on top of the rope and moving down wards by removing one foot at a time till you reach the ground and I found this not that easy with full kit on and a loaded weapon but I with others got the hang of it in the end,why did we have to do that?that will be told in my next posting.[/I]
