Canadian Army investigating after soldier parachutes over Petawawa while drinking beer

The Canadian Army is investigating after a video was posted on social media showing a soldier parachuting over Petawawa while drinking a beer.
The video shows a bearded Canadian soldier attached to his parachute and slowing descending over a large body of water. He then holds a beer up, opens it, and starts drinking. The soldier then says, “the government,” and shakes his head before the video ends.
The video started circulating on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok on Friday and was also publicized by Task and Purpose, a U.S. based website that covers military and veterans affairs. The Task and Purpose posting on Twitter was titled “This Canadian paratrooper living his best life.”
National Defence spokesman Dan Le Bouthillier said Saturday that the soldier is from the Quebec-based Royal 22nd Regiment and the video was filmed during recent parachute training at Garrison Petawawa. “A unit investigation has been initiated,” Le Bouthillier added.
The soldier in the video is no longer serving, having left the Canadian Forces on Sept. 1, Le Bouthillier added. At this point the military is not making his name public.
“The conduct of the soldier is completely inappropriate, unsafe and not in accordance with Canadian Army safety static line parachute procedures.” Le Bouthillier added.
Social media comments focused on the soldier’s choice of beer (Miller Lite) which a number of individuals suggested as being less than adequate as well as questions about whether he would be disciplined for his actions.
Le Bouthillier pointed out that discipline is an option. “It is important to note that the code of service discipline still applies to retired members for breaches that occurred while serving,” he added.
