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.
From MCPO;
Buttblast Bernath,
This is to the pain now. I’ll explain and I’ll use small words so that you’ll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right.
Your ears you keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, “Dear God! What is that thing,” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.
Sleep well, Buttblast.
Be sure to send the info on to his Post Commander at the VFW… I’m sure that he’d be interested in this info about the FRAUD, LIAR and DEADBEAT DAD known as Daniel A. Barnath
It is SO easy to spend a little bit of time each day on researching the identity of the REAL PH1, 20-year career US Navy senior petty officer.
I have other stuff to do, too, but those few minutes are as nothing to me in my quest for the truth. In fact, they drive me to it.
As Stepanke said, “You’re mine, maggot!”

I haven’t found contact information for the appropriate VFW district; I’ll post it if/when I locate same.
For what it’s worth: Bernath has both the VSM and the AFEM, so technically he qualifies for VFW membership. However, neither his service nor his VFW membership excuses lies or unethical conduct.
Well, Hondo, birdbath bernastypants merely needs to drop all those lies that he claims about himself. He does himself no favors by hanging onto them. And frankly, if the VFW condones what he has done, they’ve got rocks in their heads.
Oh, it’s Real Name Time today. I’m Tina Hansen, stringer reporter for several major news networks. I’m always interested in a great story that exposes theft, conspiracy, fraud and a massive case of scum and villany. Call me!
And here I thought it was Lois Lane. You got me all sorts of wrapped around the axle, woman.
Something to “assist” in your search, PH-2. IIRC, the jumpers started being re-issued in 1980, but the phase out of the jackets wasn’t complete for E-6 and below until 1984, IIRC, so the person in the picture may not have retired until then.
Just something to consider.
And Buttblast? No self-respecting NCO, retired, honorary, or otherwise, would have that dead rat on his face while wearing the uniform. Uniform regulations mean just that. And no way in hell I would don my uniform (which I no longer have, BTW) without appearing neat, clean-shaven (or at least have facial hair within Navy regs) and a SAT haircut.
Just my little “fuck you” of the day. See ya in court, shitstick.
@754.
Funny.
You old guys really do have a sense of humor.
Just kidding.
Nah, not really. But imagine a bunch of grown men on a submarine watching that movie time and again. Unnerving, really.
Humor? What’s that? Oh, it’s that thing I use to mock assholes who try to pull phony shit and then come here pretending they’re junior members of the Lucky Sperm (Guzzler) Club.
Maybe he can at least get a part-time gig at APL’s Oregon branch?
I don’t have a Facepage MyBook or Tweetest account.
Can someone go to the VFW FaceTweeterBook Thingy and leave a comment to come here and see his asshattery?

@761.
I am sure Commander Monkress and the dishonorable Colonel W. The Third could hook him up.
@762 Done Master Chief.
OK …. UPDATE:
I am in direct commuication with VFW Oregon (front office) and dealing with a ranking senior official.
And guess what … that ranking offical at VFW Oregon is a Retired US Navy Master Chief Petty Officer.
Well snap it off in Danny Boys ass … whada ya know!
We have a tele-conf scheduled for let’s see … real soonm … Sh!t … I just might invite the MCPON’s office to dial in!
I will be forwarding the MCPON communications to VFW Oregon soonest!
@765 Master Chief….
Well snap it off in Danny Boys ass … whada ya know!
I larfed HEARTILY!!!
/guffaw
(chuckling) So, the State Commander is a retired MCPO, eh? Talk about your poetic justice . . . .
Karma, she can indeed be vengeful beyotch.
I have met several Karma’s in my days … this Karma is MOST definately a BITCH!
And me without my beer and popcorn. I’m not even a Chief and I’m all atingle with anticipation of the impending curb stomping about to take place.
A bit gauche, you say? Base in nature and petty of me? Maybe. But damned if it’s not worth seeing a shitstick like this get what’s coming to them once in a blue moon.
nastypants to file suit against VFW Oregon/VFW National in 4…3…2…
He should try to sue EVERY GENIUNE CPO IN THE FREE WORLD!
The phone con is complete.
The POC was a Retired Genuine US Navy CPO.
In the Goat Locker we are all the same … still Chiefs.
So … there you have it.
Stand by for email string!
From a Self Imposed Designation of Honoary CPO to TAH to MCPON’s Office back to TAH to VFW Oregon Front Office:

Chief,
Thanks for the call.
Please see email string below from me to the MCPON office in reference to a Daniel A. Bernath of Oregon.
He has been rocking a fraud and suggesting that he is an HONORARY CPO. Complete with uniform, hash marks and other claims that are not supported in any way by fact, Daniel A. Bernath has been indignant, disrespectful and down right out of the box on virtually everything connected to his claims and how he has dealt with the attention he has brought on himself!
He challenged both me and the MCPON during a phone conversation last week … The MCPON has responded quite forcefully as you can see from emails below and attachment above.
The bottom line up front (BLUF):
We want this elevated to highest level of VFW Oregon for your immediate action.
He has been featured on several Stolen Valor Web Sites and Blogs. One blog in particular has documented and captured much of his … how should I say … asshattery. That site is: This Ain’t Hell, But You Can See it From Here: https://www.azuse.cloud/?p=38816&cpage=16#comment-1110254
Please grab a large cup of joe, click on the link to TAH about Daniel A. Bernath, and read … this person has asked for attention … he now has it!
Please keep me and TAH informed of your work in reference to the Stolen Valor case.
We greatly appreciate your shared concern.
Please confirm receipt of this email.

Thank you for your service Shipmate and thank you for your e-mail of 17 January 2014. MCPON shared your email with me and I wanted to provide you with a timely response. It is commendable that you have taken a dedicated stance against those who attempt to defraud service members and the service accreditations/awards for which they have served so faithfully.
The authority in which MCPON bestows the Honorary Chief Petty Officer (HCPO) recognition is completely within his power and authority as the MCPON because he is the senior-most master chief in the Navy and has ratified such authority by Naval Guidance (please see attached MGM #2013-03 (3.) (a.)).
I would like to make it abundantly clear; however, that HCPO recognition is not detailed in any law or statute, because it is NOT an award. Rather, it is an honorary recognition given out of gratitude and accredited by the only Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (currently, MCPON Mike D. Stevens).
Our hope is that after close review of the current guidance, the individual named below will take a close look at the purpose and merit of the recognition. To be clear, if the individual was found to be falsely claiming recognition, there would be no recourse/penalty, and could not be held liable under 18 U.S. Code § 704 (Military medals or decorations). Again, the HCPO recognition is not a medal or award,.
It is unfortunate that an individual would claim to hold such standing with the mess and provide no validation of being recognized. Which is why our office has recently taken added measures to ensure a standard of accountability is upheld. Beginning last summer (July 2013), the office of the MCPON increased such efforts by entering all HCPO’s into an official log, documenting the recognition with a certificate, and verifying the requests of each record.
The guidance referenced above can also be found online at Navy.mil: http://www.navy.mil/mcpon/index.asp.
I thank you for your continued service and dedication to the Navy. Fair winds, and following seas.

Subject: IMPOSTER US NAVY HONORARY CPO
MCPON Stevens,
I have information of an individual out of Oregon who is rockin’ a fraud as a Honorary CPO.
After retirement from the Navy I took up Stolen Valor and Poser Hunting, although we typically take care of business quite effectively, this one is special. The individual has challenged me and YOU. He wants to know by what authority do YOU have and he wants evidence of YOUR authority by law and statute.
Well MCPON how shall we handle this? I have a few good ideas, however you are the MCPON.
Let me know how to proceed.
Respectfully and in your service,
MCPO (name redacted)
Rule one of Blueshirts–Don’t piss off your chief.
Rule two of Blueshirts–Don’t piss off anyone else’s chief.
Rule three of Blueshirts–If found in violation of Rules One or Two, stand the fuck by. There are more of them then there are of you, and they have 230 years of Naval experience in which they can make your life miserable.
It’s gettin’ better by the hour, I’m stocking up on beer and pocorn!!
It is a thing of beauty to see a Smack Down turn into an outright Spanking! Great job MCPO!
I have done nothing here:
All I have done is listen, observe and reconcile.
I am obligated to do this as a MCPO.
It is really quite simple.
The CPO Creed extends into retirement.
And although retired, I am technically still in the US Navy.
Where as Daniel A. Bernath is NOT a Genuine CPO, NOT an Honorary CPO, NOT in the US Navy and he has NOT retired from the US Navy.
So in review, there alot of things Daniel A. Bernath is NOT!
Ga-a-a-a-a-adammit! That’s good stuff, Master Chief.
NHSparky, you left out one little thing that you ALWAYS see in a real chief petty officer’s portrait. And I don’t mean a coffee mug with his name and a fouled anchor on it. He’s either holding it or wearing it.
I’m really wanting to do that interview with Paul Harvey and Captain Tom Dodge, but I’m holding off until mission is as completed as complete can be.
Do not ever piss off a real Chief Petty Officer at any level unless you want your personal space invaded.
780–that would be his/her cover, of course.
NH … Details, details, details.
@759 NHSparky, Thanks for the heads up on the date range. I figure it’s somewhere between 1978 and 1984, and I’ve pretty much narrowed down the candidates to that timeframe. I’m cooking on it.
In fact, as we all know, I also cook.

I’m just a cook. Just a lowly, lowly cook.
Ex-PH2 – You are anything but “just”.
MCPO – Same goes for you Sir.
Danny Boy … just keeping it real and pushing you to the front of the line again!
It took me a trip to Google, because my Flashplayer wasn’t updated, but finally, I did get an eyeful. And boy, was it a gaaaaadamm eyeful.
SONOFABITCH. IT’S SHEP. I KNEW HIM WHEN HE WAS AT NPC. HE WAS BITCHING LIKE A DRUNKEN BOSUN’S MATE AT THE STILL PHOTO DIVISION PICNIC BECAUSE WO1 JOAN HALLINAN WOULDN’T APPROVE HIM FOR CHIEF.
BERNATH, YOU MOTHERLESS BASTARD MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF PIGSHIT, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE SLUDGE THAT BLOWS OUT OF THE SHITTERS WHEN SOMEONE FLUSHES DURING A BACKING BELL EXERCISE.
!!!!****UPDATE****!!!!
I found the original photo of the serviceman Bernath used to do his photoshopping with. It is a photo of one: PH1 John R. Sheppard, USN (RET). It can be viewed at the link listed below on Page 2 of the photos. I feel good today!!!

Sorry folks but I am feelin’ HOT tonight! Never nailed one on the head before.
Folks I am posting again in hopes the number of Recent Posts will get some attention to my post @785. Not trying to be a blowhard.
I remember one MCPO Garrison, good man. We serve together in the Fleet before I Cross Decked out to the Bee’s.
Thoughtful, deliberate and not one to F**k with.
MCPO-TAH nice job. See Bernie Real Chief’s use the Mess, and we have long arms, even longer memory.
Irish Alziemhers Baby, forget everything but the grudges.
I’ll catch up later. Have to go pick up the little woman. I can’t wait until you guys confront Bernath with this. Forgive me, I am just a little excited.
Sparks: amigo, I do believe you just might have something there. Looks like a match to me.
Ex-PH2: your take on Sparks’ find?
I owe Sparks a case of BEER and one odf my man retirement coins!
NO FUCKIN’ SHIT.
Hondo post that photo up here noting the honorable status of the subject. I am on BB now till morning …… I gots to see it.
Danny Boy. It is press time. And guess who I know in Oregon …GFY!
You want to play games with entire CPO Mess, challenge me and the MCPON?
Well we fully accept your challenge.
Within 7 days you will be nationally recognized as the most pathetic example of Stolen Valor … If it plays out you have STOLEN the actual image of a retired Navy vet, I will expose every facet of your creatured existance.
Any questions?
Does anybody here doubt anything that I said about Shep?
Can someone put that stuff in BOLD for me? Thanks.
Looks like Sparks found it! A much better analysis, with better equipment than my flipping between tabs, needs to be done, but sure does look like a match from here!
You ARE rocking today, Sparks!
And to the VFW Oregon – this VFW Life Member would appreciate anything and everything you can lawfully do to cause as much discomfort as possible for this loon.
MCPO ; EX-PH2; Sparks…….Good work, I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of all of you in surrounding this pompous ass, and disproving his bull shit. Again great job.
EX-PH2. You curse like a Sailor … Oh nevermind.
Let’s get a quick link on the photo.
I am going to press tonight.
We need to notify the member too.
Ok … Who do we have in Oregon?
Let’s start with copyright infringement and go from there, shall we?
Oh, man. How’s that lying and stealing workin’ out for you THIS week, slug?
Does anybody have any questions?
BERNATH YOU CRAPWEASEL. KEEP LYING YOUR ASS OFF TO EVERYONE. EVERYBODY IN THE USA WILL KNOW WHAT KIND OF SHIT YOU PULL, IF THEY DON’T KNOW ALREADY.
It appears that Danny boy’s ego has finally crashed & burned. Good work Sailor’s. Dang, Never thought I would ever say that 🙂
Master Chief, he’s on page 52 of the November 2013 photographers past and present list.

Put the good photo up here. I need it. I can still get NBC in OR guy before night fall.
