It was feet (I type fast and sometimes leave out a letter). You've probably 
seen pictures of Hueys carrying 6 troops with 3 on each side with their 
feet hanging out. It seems that in another unit a soldier fell out at 
altitude, so that the group commander put out an order that troops must 
keep their feet inside the aircraft at altitude. On this particular day, 
the group commander was in our area and our company commander was chewing 
us all out.
