That fish has some serious bragging rights.

Was the fish’s sister named “Betty Wont?”

I understand why he got his @$$ chewed for safety violations, but this is seriously funny.

Good Lord, they’re still using Capewells!? I’m sure they have their reasons but cutaway technology has advanced considerably in the last 50 years.

I wonder if this kind of sudden barometric change could damage a fish’s swim bladder?

Never take a fish above 5000 feet in altitude. EVERYONE knows that.

Not the first time (or last) that some paratrooper packed an "in-flight guest", but with the social media run wild, it's surprising you don't see more of this.

"For doing this Robinson had to write a 1,000 word paper on the importance of safety when conducting Airborne ops."

This is the kind of "punishment" they mete out these days?

When did the meanest fighting force on earth turn into middle school?

I thought it was going to be a fish you had to strap to your chest or something.

I was a C-130 loadmaster and if I knew someone had a fish in a water bottle it would have made no difference to me. That's hardly a safety issue.

I managed to do a helicopter jump after drinking tequila all day one time, and another time I got away with something worse.

Jumping drunk is not recommended, nothing went wrong, but it was amazing the deep realization of being hindered the second you exit. Being drunk on the ground is totally different than being drunk in such a short window of time, with so much stimuli going on, and in the air, where the stakes are so high.

So if somebody jumps with just a plain waterbottle or canteen that is a “safety hazard”?
