What a great two days. The SAPR team proved to be a great host of the ‘Happy Hour’ tour, and Airmen packed the venue in large numbers. I cannot thank you Warriors enough for supporting WINGMAN DAY in Anderson Hall. Colonel Hastings was smooth as ever and shared a great message about resiliency and mental, physical and spiritual Fitness! To Mrs, Pena, my friend, and the entire great team of VA’s…continue to do great work. I left Del Rio at 1700 hrs today( Friday) and my GPS says 3.5 more hours to San Antonio Airport. 🙂 I can still hear your laughter Airmen and Civilians. Stay Warrior Strong and have a great weekend. 
I appreciate all public comments. Show raffle winners will be chosen Saturday at 1700 hrs. If you want to reach me personally, send an email to CONTACT link on this site. I will return your message soon.

I really enjoyed your show. It has made me re-think different actions that I might have made in the past.
That was a great show. I think the message was loud and clear!
Wow I never thought I would actually enjoy myself so much at a mandatory briefing. What an inspirational story delivered in a way that reached everyone in the audience!
Glad you could come to Laughlin AFB and put on an awesome show for us, even though it was mandatory. Thank you for the laughs and the valuable lessons.
Awesome show Bernie! Great jokes and I could relate to the family experiences that you shared.
I can’t read (and they’re going to make me a pilot!?!?), just kidding; but I’ll take a book. Thanks for taking the time to come to Laughlin and share your message. Great show!
Hilarious show and great message, thanks for being there!

Great show Bernie! Beats the heck out of death by powerpoint! Thanks for taking the te to come by and share your story and a few laughs.
It’s my 2nd time seeing your show. Last time it was at the Air Force Academy. Great show both times. Thanks for the good message. I’m glad you get to spend time with your brother. I wish I had more with my own.
Definitely the best wingman day! Great show!
Best stand up performance I’ve seen! Nice sweater!

Thanks for the great show. It was nice to have a few laughs and get away from the work place. Great message as well.
Excellent delivery and flawless message. Thanks for the good time today 🙂 Keep up your awesome personality.
loved your show at laughlin
Attendance was mandatory, but laughs were definitely voluntary. Nice to come away from a Comedy show with more than a few laughs for a change!
Thank you, thank you! I am so sorry for the loss of your brother, Scott. I literally cried hearing about that part of your life. I can just imagine how sweet and innocent Sean is….pls give him a big Texas hug from all of Team XL.
Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being inspirational to so many airmen. God bless you and yours always!
Great show Bernie! 🙂 Thank you for sharing your story with us! Best of luck with everything!
I saw you at Laughlin today! I can’t remember the last time (if ever) I laughed during a resiliency briefing! You’ve unlocked a unique and perfect balance between humor and important content. I typically leave resiliency briefings feeling depressed, but your presentation broke that mold (even considering the heavy material). I don’t feel as though an hour and a half of my life was wasted. Thanks!
Bernie that was hilarious today. Definitely killed it and had a great life lesson at the end. Thank you for coming to Del Rio and don’t forget to enjoy going back home where you have actual radio stations…
Awesome show! Thanks for sharing your life story.
Great show, awesome presentation, and even better story. Thanks for your time!
Great show @ Laughlin come back soon
Loved the show needed a good laugh!

Enjoyed your presentation…glad I was there to learn of your struggles that made you stronger. You made a great impression on the group. Thx
Really enjoyed the show. It was a nice break from all the stresses of pilot training.
