the UH1H we train with is always doorless one, we need to rappel down mah. Brunei training is the only place the pilots will listen to the marshal, mayb because of the thick terrain. They really take instructions even to the direction to fly off. Here in SG, knn you point left they fly right. [laugh]

 

Heli rappelling has always been the mission of the Guards mah, from the start is like that. [laugh]

We saw our oc fullpack did a freefall from the departing heli on Perdayan......he and his runner forgot to throw down the fullpack and the crewman threw it down from about 30meter.....

I think abt the same time lah, I enlisted in 1990. But I think my unit was  the few to get the kevlar, so I said my time  the steel was history . [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh] .
