If things don't go his way, Bernath will eventually play the anti-Semitism card and/or claim immunity because Holocaust.

I went threw jump school in 1996 as a SGT, we had a group of Seals going threw at the same time they were great guys and we had a lot of fun hanging out with them. PLF's are awesome especially when your on the swing land trainer and the fucking black hat lets go of the rope and drops you on your fucking head just for shits and giggles. Favorite jump school saying, "Check can of peas!"

Hilarious stories about jump school. I did it in November 1979. There were probably 15 Navy guys and 15 Marine guys in my class. I don't recall whether the Navy guys were SEALs or not, though I would have probably remembered if they had said they were. After Tower Week, we were in formation Friday evening and the commanding officer was giving some speech about something. He made a point to inform us that Phenix City, Alabama, just across the Chattahooche River, was off limits to all military personnel. It was, indeed, a gritty, shitty place in '79, with dope dealers and hookers and scummy motels. We were dismissed, and everybody was preparing to go out and get fucked up. I didn't really know anybody in my airborne class because I had a commo MOS, but most of the Army guys were 11B and had gone to AIT at Benning. I did it at Fort Sill, OK. So, I'm just wandering through the barracks with no puprose and a Navy guy asks me what I'm doing that night. I said "Probably just go into Columbus and find a bar. What are you guys doing?" He laughs, and says "Didn't you hear the CO? We're going to fucking Phenix City." I grew up a lot that night.

Another great story, keep them coming!

Cant wait for Bernath to stomp on his pepe. Word is out that Bernath is moving to Key West and, going in the wine business. Yip, he will be interviewing cork soakers.

The swing landing trainer was like a medieval torture device. I remember we had a few SEAL guys in my airborne class in '01. They were always fucking around too, making noises in formation and screaming CHECK YOUR CAN OF PEAS! Good times.

I just want to let you know that it isn't just military people who are with you. If I can help in any way, I would be honored .

Much respect to all of you jumping from perfectly good aircraft. Thank you for your service. Don thanks for sharing your time in the seals.
