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.

Never show up your unit with something like that. Could have waited after his next duty station before releasing his video. A letter of reprimand is a minimum.

My definition if light punishment; I got a speeding ticket once (driving over 15mph on the alert pad,) during aircraft launch! My First Shirt said, “Stick out your hand, Airman!” I did. He slapped it and said “Now get back to work!”

Rules are there for a reason. It seems more and more people are not choosing to follow rules or even laws. I would expect more from the recruits these days.

That’s hilarious. I’d take a company grade for that.

My Navy Chief told me there were only 2 things that fall from the sky. Bird **** and damn fools and asked what I was. This followed a weekend sky diving session where I injured my knee on landing. He threatened an article 15 destruction of Government property but never did. This was 1971 and chutes were not very controllable compared to nowadays.

You're all cracking me up. I have been retired for 23 years and I see the Army is just as petty as it ever was. I got away with a lot of stuff in my day, but I knew how to stay out of the limelight. Tip of the hat, young soldier.
