We always called them Dhoni ladders.
And we made those things.
They were good.
They were really good.
To climb a rope ladder, your feet go straight out.
It's hard.
But these would work.
And if you're wounded and so bad off, wherever you happen to be in the ladder, you just snapped off right there.
And the people up above could roll the ladder up underneath you.
It's like you're in a stretcher.
It's just perfect, you know.
And we made the first one.
And I remember we wanted the CO of the camp to see it.
And so Colonel Lapp came over there and, oh, he says, this is just great, you know.
And so we had everybody over there.
And it got to be the preferred way of getting in and out.
Of course, you still did the rappelling.
And some of them did the parachuting in.
Damn.
Yeah.
