A Fish Story? Paratrooper Who Completed Final Jump With Pet Fish Receives UCMJ

If the fish was in his pocket ! in his water bottle what the be deal . what they should be worry about is having RAG HEADS in our Military. they are lackey I am not their boss ! because heads would roll.

I’d say his punishment should be cleaning company fish tank

As I'm reading, the comments are Funnier than the article. I was Navy, My 1st husband (w)was a Submariner and my Husband now is 22 yrs Army and did jumps out of Helos with 101st. I have seen and heard some funny stories past 30 years, Especially in those MOS's ( Rates) that work hard and play harder. And let's face it 18-28 young dumb full of...
I can see why the command was lenient Maybe he was a outstanding Soldier , he made a mistake showboating and didn't want anyone to follow with a 1 upmanship.
Poor fish got stolen from The Coasties to go on a joy ride.
If the kid stays in he will probably make a Great NCO 1 day.. I have seen Officers do a hell of alot worse in embarrassing their command. Just my 2 cents worth

Good

I've seen some stupid stuff in my time, but wow lol I don't know why in the hell the Army would even burden itself with the paperwork required for a UCMJ. I'm thinking a verbal reprimand followed by a good laugh would be appropriate followed by NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!

Are we f’ing serious? I was Marine infantry and don’t have jump wings but for fucks sake; A NJP for a water bottle with a goldfish? I’ve seen more boot soldiers load their ammo backwards in their magazine. Peacetime military likes to forget what is important and what is not. When we get bored we look for anything.

Who ever punished this guy is a fuggin douche

Did the fish have all the approved saft y gear ???

He makes Bergdhul look like a girl Scott

He had the( balls ) to make the jump and he must have done so in a safe manner he completed the exorcise,..good job .
