Just because you don't have legs doesn't mean you can't jump.

The Facebook page US Army W.T.F! Moments has, as advertised, many WTF moments captured on film by the men and women of the armed services. WTF, of course, is an Army acronym meaning "Well, That's Fantastic!" Indeed, this photo of a paratrooper bringing "Willy MakeIt" (his pet Betta fish, aka Japanese Fighting Fish) along on a training mission is fantastic, so much so that it quickly established a foothold on major sites like reddit not long after being dropped on the Internet.

The paratrooper in question is one Matt Tattersall, who posted this proof (below) that the fish made it safely to the ground. I'd be more careful about posting his name and getting him in trouble, but as I mentioned, he posted this photo (with his name on his jacket and helmet) to Facebook. He also left his name written on his helmet in the top photo posted to USAWTFM.


"I'd probably have a face you could take seriously if you hadn't just seen that other picture."

According to redditors (which should translate to "there's a 70% chance what I'm about to say is completely made up"), this public buddy drop has indeed led to some discipline for Tattersall. According to those same unreliable sources, though, he only has 100 days left in the Army, and so he's officially DGAF. DGAF is a non-army abbreviation for having a lighthearted, carefree attitude.
