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.

Safety first people always!
It's to bad that this troop is ending his career with an article 15, that didn't have to be except for the fact that some Captain's OER would have reflected a negative point for not enforcing discipline, possibly causing a pass over to Major, which would/could have ruined the Captain's career !

Why video a stupid stunt like this?
I knew guys that "jumped" equipment, buck knives and the sort. But this is just stupid. Why video this?

A L.O.C. Would of made an impression..
it’d Be gone in 6 months.. Art 15 is a bit deep for bringing the unauthorized jump partner..

This story makes me wonder...how many young men and women saw his video on social media and thought about joining the Army and jumping out of airplanes. That is advertising the Army cannot pay for.
