Great show…made me laugh early on a Monday/ Best of all, the serious note was well heard. here’s hoping everyone “listened”. Thanks for making it fun to learn!

Your comedy was awesome and you tied in the lesson very well. If all our briefings were done by comedians I’d be happy to sit through them all.

Thanks for the laughs! I was there and this was by far the best “mandatory” briefing I have been to. Safe travels.
Wren May 14, 2012 at 4:10 am

Bro, thanks again for your courage to share your story with our community. I know your message got through, and that doesn’t always happen with these mandatory briefings. Your work affects the lives of the people it reaches. Keep up the good work, good luck and, safe travels. Congratulations on your 24 years of sobriety, that’s amazing! Take good care. Ciao & thanks again. Airmen could always use a little laughter.

Thank you for sharing with us. Better than death by power point by far.

I’m a big fan of comedy and I’m VERY pleased to see it make an impact beyond pure entertainment. Thank you for such a great show, and I hope to enjoy your performance again someday!

There I was…
Michael May 14, 2012 at 10:09 am

Hey thanks for the story man I really appreciated the quality of your show. I had a DUI before I came to the Air Force and was in jail for awhile as well. These days I rarely drink anymore because it has such a big effect on the following days to come. I can relate with some of your story so I am glad. Take care and thanks for what you’ve done it is making a difference so never doubt yourself.
Dorothy Permetti May 14, 2012 at 10:26 am

I was there this morning! Best “mandatory” briefing I’ve ever been to.
Jonathan Campos May 14, 2012 at 10:52 am

Rebecca White May 14, 2012 at 12:09 pm

Mr. Bernie thanks for all you are doing for our service members across the world. Your comedy is hilarious…best briefing of my 8 year military career! Your story is inspirational and I know it is touching service member’s lives more then you will ever know. Keep doing what your doing!!! May God bless you and yours, Always ~Mandy~ (SSgt Arndt)
William Forde May 14, 2012 at 1:39 pm

I agree with Dorothy… if I’d know what exactly we’d be doing, there would have been no “mandatory” about it for me! Thank you again, I truly loved your materiel, and your message. It was great to see you be so real with up, and yet so light hearted…
