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

I’m pretty damn jealous!!! Why didn’t I think of that!!! He should get a plaque made with the picture and the Art 15!

Doesn’t matter what the rule is you break it you pay you may not agree with them but you agreed to follow them when you signed the dotted line

Love it !

5days KP. Then forget it.

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.

Chance would have jumped too.

It's an airborne thing, legs just wouldn't understand.

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
