A fishy tale...our tax money hard at work.
Oh silly bugger I didnt add the link anyways thanx Maria I must say your bettas do get around a bit dont they
Mind it wont be the first time fish have been kept in the Military , way back in 79 we had two godfish that lived in a bowl suspended from the deckhead in the Quatermasters mess named Bill and Ben after the flower pot men , they had been won at the fair so we decided to take them globe trotting with us all.

Sadly though I'm unsure what happened to them as they were the mess fish looked after by us all and I left the ship in 1980 but no doubt they were taken home by one of the lads
Big kids "who us", there was a childrens program called Tiswas ,that had Russia had invaded any saturday of the month we would have lost hands down as nothing happened until Tiswas finished
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiswas
Now you see the mentality of a military man the and after reading the story about it you can see that this mentality is alive and well still God bless US Paratroop's for happy memorys .
Of course I'm wondering if the Betta was given his Parachute badge at the end of this , mind you I wonder what the thoughts of the Betta where all the way down ?
"OH SH******************************************************T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"........ all the way down to earth and its thoughts afterwards

I think that was pretty cool him taking his fish w/him. Didn't hurt anything and he has made his 15 mins of fame and the fish too
