Sometimes we got to go place by air. The officers used things like Verticle Envelopment and such to describe what we were doing . All most enlisted knew was that it was much easier to run out on the fantail and board a helicopter than it was to go over the side on cargo nets into a Higgins Peter Boat and then have to wade ashore where the water mixed with the beach sand to get into every crevise in your body. At times the pilot could not set down which meant that we went down by rope. Still better than Higgins Boats. Maybe a little bit scarier?
