Daniel A. Bernath; phony CPO
Editor’s Note: Daniel A. Bernath passed away on January 21, 2018
Scotty sent this to us over the weekend and I was holding on to it for a drought, but our own Ex-PH2 was excited that Daniel A. Bernath was a PH2, too. Just by looking at the rank on his sleeve, you can tell he’s a phony since, instead of laying out the bucks for new rank, he had a stripe embroidered on the sleeve. He has service stripes for twenty years of service, but his FOIA tells a different story;
3 years and change in active service, and a couple of years in the Reserves. Now let’s do some math – you’ll need most of your fingers, he’s wearing seven awards in the picture and the FOIA says that he has five. Well, finally we got a Navy phony who is not a SEAL.
ADDED: Look familiar? Courtesy of Sparks to whom I bow for his superior Google-foo belt.

I feel the same way–no vet plates, no stickers/bling on the truck, nothing aside from a few t-shirts from boats I wasn’t on.
Any validation of my service is the VFW and AmLegion membership cards in my wallet and the 214/medals in my safe box, and the jar full of foreign money sitting above my computer. Every bill or fistful of change has a story behind it.
And I only tell the story to the folks who were there, so we can all laugh our asses off about it.
I had my retirement portrait spray painted on the side of my barn upstate.
BREAK
Can some please verify the photo I came across is the head that is on the bogus portrait with Shep body?
Once that is done. Can some one do a side by side. With associated web addresses where I found them.
There is a method to my mad ness.
I am on BB in the field.
My thumbs can’t do BB magic.
@1153: nice forensics, Ex, but the resolution difference between backdrop and face (if we can call it that) is obvious even on an iPhone screen.
He really is quite the sperm banker.
In the “Phonies in Airports” department: My buddy is a Captain, Chaplain with 7th Spec Forces. Recently, as he and his team mates were returning from Afghanistan, they encountered a youngun, active duty type, all lit up with phony stuff. My buddy, (former enlisted, Black Hat from Benning), lit into him. Took it as far as he felt he could go without getting physical on him and turned him over to a hard charging E-6 type. They got the kid’s full information, i.e., name, unit, name of commanding officer, etc. then made him square himself away, right there in the middle of the terminal, with an audience, handing over the unearned stuff to the team.
Off subject for a moment. MCPO NYC USN Ret. were you on the Valley Forge? A MCPO was waiting at the ship’s end of the gangplank. He had a swagger stick which he unerring used to break hidden liquor . He was never wrong and never missed. I was on the Valley Forge, Princeton and the Iwo Jima. I was also on the Vancouer a PHD(?). Mostly in 66-late 67. Thank you Joe
Frankie,
Nice. If I ever see that aboard LAS, Starbucks for everyone (except the wannabe) are on me.
That was not me, but I know who it was. That was MCPO “what hell were you thinking”!
Every ship has one!
@1155….. Spot on Sparky. The only stories I tell are the funny ones. NEVER EVER, a war story.
@1161 MCPO NYC, it’s the same head shot used on those two portraits. The phony CPO job has more cut out of the left ear (subject’s side), the phony lawyer job has a lot of ‘chop’ shopping in the hair on the (subject’s) left side.
bernutsky has that head shot on a blue background stored some place on his website. The other lawer shot – don’t know
The original portrait comes from NANP’s member photo index here: http://www.navyphoto.net/Site/gallery/galleries/photomate_portraits_r_s/index_cpo_rs.html
Not sure where the ‘lawer’ shot originates.
Bumpy Danny Boyee up for even more attention.
@1163 – Excellent catch! It’s PH1 John R. Sheppard (Ret.) from Page 2. Freakin’ eagle eye!
Thank Sparks, Oathkeeper. He’s the one who found the original photo Bernath used. See comment 785 above.
ALCON,
It was the modern day Shelock Holmes “SPARKS” who ferretted out the Shep photo.
All I was trying to do was find the CROP material Danny Boyee used while sitting at his computer dressed in a womens DEPENDS and rubber boots!
Sorry for any confuction I cremated!
I know this may be a surprze to all TAH readers and members … but … Bernath’s Grand Pappies did not hang out with George Washington or Benedict Arnold for that matter.
An advanced seach of the internet finds NO nexus between Bernath and pre-revolutionary war era.
Although his comment, in his official VFW bio, regarding that notion was the ONLY Google hit! So rather than stating a reference, we should just take his word for it!
There is however a road named Bernath in a crappy part of Carteret, NJ about 50 yards from the New Jersey Turnpike:

In my fansty world the POSer would get a epic beatdown by me. To PH1 Sheppard my utmost respect and prayers. Joe
@1015 Master Chief the image Bernath used to put on PH1 Sheppard’s uniform is at the link below. I looked at it closely while blown up 250%-300%. Same smile, same shadows under neck, same shadows on teeth. Light from same angle. The cant of his head is at the same angle and hair is identical.

You’ve probably seen this Master Chief, so it is not news. Hope it helps what you are working on.
@ SPARKS … Yes … I jenned up the side by side comparison and sent it to Jonn for posting!
It was the danflag.jpg he used to crop on to Shep’s photo!
The bio of Comroid Bernath is still posted at VFW: http://www.tualatinvfw.com/biography/comrade-daniel-a-bernath/

@1170. If you look closely at his beard the left, his left side is trimmed longer than his right. Same in both photos. Plus he had the advantage of having a photo of him in a white dress shirt. Just my observations folks. Could be wrong but I’d put money on that being the original head used.
Day-um – looks to me like you’re on a roll, Sparks. Well done. Again.
Thank to Sparks! I’m a bit late to the game on this one…
Oathkeeper: de nada. With approaching 1200 comments, it’s easy to miss one here and there.
You guys are steely-eyed missile men. I’m a relative newcomer to the Stolen Valor Hunting Team after unearthing my own special moron in my town and it’s all still blowing my mind a bit.
@1176 Oathkeeper, funny you mentioned missile men. During my stint in the Air Force, I was in the 308th Comm Squadron, 308th Missile Wing, Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas. 18 Titan II missile silos in northern Arkansas to maintain a comm system for to SAC headquarters. The 465L Comm system, riding Crypto from each silo to the SRCC, plus the RCC at Wing Command Post on base. They are all gone now. Decommissioned in the mid 80s and the silos were most all blown up in place and covered over from what I read. I would have loved to have lived in one of those silos. They had their own well, sewer and power source and a 3 story Command Capsule with sleeping quarters, kitchen and maintenance area on the bottom floor. Plus the 8 story deep silo itself. One of the coolest places I ever worked. About as self contained as you could get. Still have my little Air Force “Pocket Rocket”.
But back to business:

Just keepin’ the love going.
What’d I miss?
Oh, yeah — Oathkeeper, Shep is an old (boy)friend from days of Yore. I expressed my displeasure here: http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=38816&cpage=24#comment-1110654
at finding that dandan the bernastypantsman had engaged in what is essentially an act of petty revenge for being outed by Shep for stealing Shep’s copyrighted material and claiming it was his own.
This is a prime example of what a load of utter garbage bernutskyass is and what he has done.
Finally, however, it is all catching up with him, right here in River City. Yeah! And I owe Sparks big time for finding the image of Shep.
Sparks, that ain’t a beard. A back alley rat attacked his face and Buttblast killed it by stabbing his chin with a pitchfork.

Oh well, there’s Flo on my left arm and there’s Mary on my right
And my wifey is the girl with that I’ll be with tonight
And when she asks me, which one I love the best?
I tear open my shirt I got Ex-PH on my chest
‘Cause I’m the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around
Just a little Tuesday fun and humor.
You guys here on TAH are all great!

Hondo or Jonn,
Have you or the North Koreans blocked Danny Boyee?
We have not heard from him!
I miss his rhetoric!
MCPO
Maybe he’s in his doomsday missile silo bunker.
Hey! Bernath’s a bunker hunker!
Too lazy to check to see if this has already been noticed: if you follow the link from the vfw web page to the web host, then to the contact page, there is a “daniel” listed as a contact.
So, perhaps we should not castigate the VFW post too much – good chance (as he claims) that his bastard is in complete control of their website, thus making it impossible for them to make any changes to it.
Slimy fool.
For a mere $1.5 million you can have your very own missile silo/half-floor survival unit, or a full unit for $3 million:

We could always purchase a silo, hand cuff Danny Boyee to the sewage pump outlet in the lower level and fill the silo with concrete.
Just sayin’!

Dang….sorry Jonn…..I didn’t see it C&P so I hit the button again….if it’s too much you can edit.
@1190 ChipNASA way to be Chip! Google hits all!
Thanks Chip. Now when I close my eyes I can still see his name.
OWB: I don’t think I’d noticed the “daniel” reference on the page, but I did mention a similar possibility above (comment 1071).
Umm…I really don’t know what google’s exact rules on bumping stuff up in the search rankings are, but we aren’t in violation of anything, are we?
For all you snowbound people out there. All my thoughts for you snow shovel ninjas.

HS … when you say “we”, do you have a mouse in your pocket?
@1194 HS Sophomore, my understanding is Google does not really care. The amount we post here is NOTHING compared to celebrities and politicians campaigning and their ilk have assistants sit and work their name and fame up the list. Could be wrong, I have been before.
@1197-Ok. Just wondering if we were being a wee bit too brazen. Thanks for clearing that up.
@1196-negative, just the overall TAH community (of which I am not a full member; that honor is reserved for veterans like yourself).
OK … Time to be serious:
So here we are, focussed on Danny Boyee, and for good reason.
He has been rocking a fraud for many years now and it has all caught up to him.
EVERYTHING has caught up. Ms. Karma is banging on his door and he does not like it, the MCPON addressed his behavior and that angered him, I have unleashed the collective POWER and INFLUENCE of every living CPO and future PCPO on his dumbass, and he could not care not for a second, nor could he even comprehned what it truly means to be a Genuine CPO or a Honorary CPO.
So you all know I shed a tear on occasion … and each time I remind myself of my blessings I often remember AO1 Eberhart. Just a Sailor, a good Sailor, dedicated and devoted husband and a most loving father.
He was made an Honorary CPO on May 15, 2008.
He died on June 7, 2008.
Go here and read the story and carefully look at the photos: http://goatlocker.org/resources/cpo/eberhart.htm
And Bernath … you can KMRIA!
Master Chief, that is one hell of a story. The damned desert dust is kicking up out here again though, making my eyes water the whole way through.
Honorary Chief Eberhart was a man of honor, God rest him. Something the Phony Chief will never attain or understand.
Thanks, Hondo. Thought I had seen something about it, but not specifically what I was looking at. Or something. Maybe.
Anyway, my entire point is/was that since the local VFW may not have anything to do with “their” website, we really should not hold it against them. That website may just be another example of his general asshatteriness.
Yeah. What ExHack said.
Take a good look at the link MCPO posted in comment 1200, Bernath. Maybe then you’ll begin to “get it”.
@1200 Master Chief, what an honor it was to read the story of AO1 David Eberhart, Honorary Chief Petty Officer, USN. It must be the seasonal allergies in my eyes right now. Thank you for posting that.
As to Daniel A. Bernath, your claims to be an “Honorary” anything in the United States Navy are a sham and a living shame to men like PH1 John Sheppard and AO1 David Eberhart. Men of honor and integrity. Two words you do not live by and do not know the meaning of. Again, hang your head in shame, if shame is a concept of which you can even conceive.
