Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners: Jose Centeno, Jason Crandell and Joe Cowan!! 

It was so awesome to be back here in Georgia at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay!!  THANK YOU to the over 800 sailors, marines and civilians who came out to this afternoon’s programs in the Base Gymnasium.  It has been about 2 1/2 years since I’ve been here and it never ceases to amaze me at what this base is all about.  Thank for all the love and for hosting my program and hopefully you all had some laughs and left with things to think about.  I truly enjoyed my day with you all!!   NSB Kings Bay is the state-of-the-art home to the Atlantic Fleet’s Ballistic and Guided Missile Submarines.

NAS Oceana- the East Coast home of the US Navy Fighter’s Attack Jet Fleet

Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners: Matt Caples and Danielle Lamberton!

Day two of my stop here in Virginia brings me to the East Coast home of the US Navy Fighter’s Attack jet fleet: Naval Air Station Oceana.   Located right in the heart of Virginia Beach, the base is a hub of activity vital to projecting the nation’s air power in hot spots worldwide. NAS Oceana’s mission is to support the Navy’s Atlantic and Pacific Fleet Force of Strike-Fighter Aircraft & Joint/Inter-Agency Operations.   Thank you to OPNAV and to RPC Smith and SH1 Coriat for bringing me here and giving me the opportunity to deliver my “Comedy With A Four Star” message to you sailors and civilians.
