Dear Mr. McGrenahan,

On behalf of Naval Air Station Kingsville, I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to you for being our guest speaker at the “Happy Hour” Training held on June 12, 2014, It was very enjoyable to hear your stories. We heard only positive comments on your presentation. I am sure I speak for all of the Kingsville community when I say, “We are very proud of you and your accomplishments.” Thank you for your outstanding performance.

Bernie,

Please accept my deepest gratitude and heartfelt respect for doing what few can accomplish. You have engaged your talents and experiences to transform a very difficult set of subjects … personal risk management, alcohol awareness, the wingman concept, and suicide prevention … into an engaging, entertaining, yet riveting, presentation. Our Joint Base Langley-Eustis audience loved it. Our command’s wing chiefs of safety, who watched your show as part of our Air Combat Command Safety Conference, will return to their wings armed with yet another tool for their mishap prevention programs. Thanks again, Bernie. You’re a hilarious performer, with a gripping message. I wish you all the best as you continue to spread this important message. You’re saving lives, and I can’t think of a better gift to our service men and women. Thank you for caring about our Airmen! Well done!

Best wishes,
Bill

Lt Gen William J. Rew
Vice Commander, Air Combat Command

NNPTC / JB Charleston – “Comedy With A Four Star Message” is back!

I was honored to be back in South Carolina, where the people’s hearts and resilience we’ve witnessed this last year have been unparalleled.      Yesterday’s  programs at NNPTC’s Bowman Center and JB Charleston were awesome with all of the sailors, airmen and civilians in attendance.  Thanks for all the love!! See pics from the NNPTC training below.  NNPTC’s mission is to prepare safe and trusted Naval nuclear operators ready for follow on prototype training and, ultimately service in the fleet.   The mission of Joint Base Charleston is  to provide globally ready forces and installation support.   Thank you to Dan Burley for all of your fine hospitality and bringing me here!! 

Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners:
