Thanks for coming and doing your show here sir, that was the best required training that I have done in the army.
The army says Hooah, the Marines say Hoorah, and the navy says Haaeeeyy(with a lisp).

Thank you sir for the show! It was amazing! You were able to address serious issues and hold the attention of the audience. Often are training gets dry with the powerpoints. Thanks for the lively training.
SPC Jason Lassiter January 20, 2012 at 9:23 am

Thanks for coming and doing your show today. That was so much better than death by powerpoint. I had no trouble staying awake in those nice chairs listing to your message than looking at the computer screen.

I just left Fort Eustis theatre and your comedy is amazing. Your life story was very interesting about what made you quit doing drugs, especially alcohol. And congrates on your 24th year of drug free; it really motivated me to keep up what im doin. By the way I am 1 month free of Alcohol.

I have to say that it was an amazing show today on 20 January 2012 at Ft. Eustis, VA. It touched everyone in the room in some sort of way. Hopefully people take it into consideration and not let things that are harmful affect their lives. Help is around, but people have to swallow their pride and get the help needed. You were amazing. God bless.

You could sense the attitude change through out your performance. I want to thank you for some well needed laughter, because i know i needed it as well as everyone else.

Again Thank you so much for your testimony Bernie.
