MAD (military attractiveness determinant)

The military has begun work on a ratings scale for the attraction of different surfaces to chopper pilots in strife. The new scale is calibrated with flat level ground equal to zero. Empirically obtained results so far are +3 for calm water and -5 for jungle.

Chicks with refuelling sticks.

"The flight was fun Mr Penguin, can we now get off please?"

Although quite late I had another thought for that Huey being carried on the shoulders of some troop brigade that was posted here some time ago.
"Switching over to Reserves".
Why didn't I think of it at the time, I could have won something

The british high command concludes, after launching a probe into the use of "heli insertion ops" during the Faulklands conflict, that while not overly effective they were rather enjoyable.
