I enjoyed the special joint forces who serve us at Southcom in Doral FL. The two shows were sponsored by the US NAVY and it was great to see not only sailors in attendance but Airmen and Soldiers as well. ! SOUTHCOM is a joint command comprised of more than 1,200 military and civilian personnel representing the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and several other federal agencies. U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), located in Doral, Fla., is one of nine unified Combatant Commands (COCOMs) in the Department of Defense. 
SOUTHCOM is responsible for providing contingency planning, operations, and security cooperation for:
-
Central America
-
South America
-
The Caribbean (except U.S. commonwealths, territories, and possessions)
The command oversees the force protection of U.S. military resources at these locations. SOUTHCOM is also responsible for ensuring the defense of the Panama Canal and canal area.

Outstanding show today, Bernie! I laughed, I cried…it was very memorable. Thank you for coming to our corner of the Navy.
Bernie….OUTSTANDING SHOW! Your comedy show was refreshing and different from others I have heard over the years. Awesome material and great flow of presentation from comedic to seriousness (with still a flair of humor). Give Shawn a hug and kiss from me and tell him he was missed here!
Thank you for the Happy Hour comedy and specifically for sharing your own personal life-experience. I am sure that you made a difference in someone’s life today for the better.
Great stuff today, Bernie! While you may not have served in the military, you certainly have served us in uniform well. Your perfect recipe of humility and humor left a mark on us all.
Absolutely the best military “training” in my 23 plus years of service. Thank you for enduring dedication and service bringing tears and laughs to the men and women in uniform!
Bernie, your show was great. I enjoyed the shows and look forward to seeing you again. thank you for your message and you commitment
Bernie, this was absolutely the best training I have received by far. You definately had my attention from the beginning until the end. That was a very touching story that you shared with us and I thank you for having the courage to share it. I know with your comedy you will bring awareness to the lives of many sailors, marines, airmen, and soldiers. Please continue to do what you do for us! Thanks again for taking the time to train us!!
