Army SPC Matthew Tattersall, the Paratrooper who gained fame just last week for celebrating his final training jump by bringing his pet fish along with him and filming the experience on a Go-Pro camera, has now faced the wrath of the UCMJ for his stunt.

You got to be kidding me me! Politicaly incorrect, harmful to feed fish? The army has went from army strong to army weak since BHO was CINC!

What sounds funny to me is why is the Army sending him to jump school shortly before ETS ??? Wouldn’t that slot only be given to someone with few years of active service left??? Why spend the money on a guy that’s about to walk?? That’s the only part that smells fishy to me

I think if the fish was cool with the tandem jump then it is OK. Gold fish have a memory span of 15 seconds so he doesn't even remember, terrible witness during the investigation

How'd that get past pre jump inspection.....In a training environment.
I'm so thankful we didn't have internet or go-pros in my youth.

The punishment wasn't for doing it, it was for being dumb enough to post it. Take your picture, show it to your brothers in arms, or your family and friends when you get home. Other than that I think sharing a defining moment in your military career with your pet...maybe this kids only friend, is tight. Hooah soldier from this former Marine. Just keep your craziness on the DL you knucklehead.
