ISA Air Base Bahrain- Thursday Jan 14 at the Big Top!
Congrats to Aaron Angell and Katie McCalden- “I Killed” raffle book winners!!
Thank you to all you men and women at ISA Air Base Bahrain who came out to the Big Top to see my “Comedy With a Four Star Message” program today! I hope you all had a few laughs and the program impacted your lives in a positive way. See pics from today’s program below! Isa Air Base is located on the island nation of Bahrain, situated off Saudia Arabia’s eastern coast and on the shore of the Arabian Gulf in southern Bahrain. It hosts the Bahrain Amiri Air Force (BAAF) Fighter Wing and the two squadrons that comprise it. Any visitor to this spacious, modern air base may not believe that Bahrain’s air power capability less than fifteen years ago consisted exclusively of rotary aircraft. Thank you to the Fleet Forces team for inviting me to share my story with you all.

Happy New Year!! 1st stop: Camp Lemonnier Djibouti, Africa!!
Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners: Matthew Struck, Amy Smith and Darren Drake!!
I want to thank all the sailors, marines, soldiers, airmen, reserve and guard who attended the two shows yesterday at the MWR 11th Degree theater. Hearing your laughter and feeling your grace as I shared my life’s journey was a once in a lifetime experience . Camp Lemonnier gave me a smidgen of the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make for our country, as well as the civilians and contractors working on location. This camp is close in proximity to many dangerous regions, and being with our troops who brave these areas gave me great inspiration and insight into what truly is taking place in this world. They live with only bare necessities, complain little, and show up every day to make a difference. To all of my family and friends back home in the United States, we should be ever so grateful for the lives we live on a daily basis. The streets of Djibouti are adorned with strife and poverty. It seemed surreal. May we all count our blessings and look forward to the day our men and women return home. Thank you Naval Fleet Forces for making this tour possible.
Above: a couple internet pics of Camp Lemonnier , pictures I took while exploring the base, the JIB airport and some pictures from time spent walking around Djibouti on Monday. Pictures from Tuesdays trainings (me and the sailors before during and after each training). Me and Chaplain Richard Ryan from Norfolk departing Djibouti.
