Jump with fish
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.

I think its something that didnt require any Article 15. It was a goldfish for Gods sake. I can't see any endangerment there. Maybe a good ass chewing from his 1st Sergeant.

I remember reading a nearly identical story, about a year ago. The difference? The last guy, was in the 82nd, doing his LAST jump, before he ETSed! A stupid stunt, at the END of your career, is far less stupid, than a stupid stunt, at the BEGINNING of your career!!!!! Also, the 82nd had a unit, with an alligator, as a mascot, and, like all airborne mascots, she needed to be jump qualified! Well.....unlike a dog, nobody is going to jump, strapped to a gator, so they made a special harness, and pushed her out. When she landed, she chewed through her harness, and escaped. She grew to an impressive length, and read seen, from time to time, arounf Ft Bragg, for a LONG time!

For the love of god can people stop saying “received a UCMJ”. It’s getting an article 15 or NJP.

We have had "jump buddies" for as long as i can remember. This is not a thing to crazy over, especially when we have grunts out there that cant even change a tire on a car. #focusonotherthings
