Default Bernard for the job

Bernard has done a fantastic job at getting me into all sorts of bother. He should be sent on a top secret mission to join the US Navy. Any volunteeers to drop him off at New York

I would have to say that I believe Parker is a much bigger screw up.

Parker also belongs in the Pacific.

Bernard needs to hang out in the Channel where he belongs!

Got to be Parker...he was the perfect screw up. Even when he did something right,it was because he accidentaly did something right.

I believe Bernard was chosen as the doofus due to the fact that there was a bernard charactor in the sh3 game. It seems a bit silly to choose a name for the US Doofus before we get the game and find out if there is a parker, dinsdale ect in the game.

How exactly was there a "Bernard character" in the game? Dowly gave his screenshot that name for reasons of his own; he may have even picked it at random. Personally I think the whole thing is silly anyway; I suggested Parker because I hate Dinsdale (but not because he's British).

There is a crew member named bernard as one of the officers or sailors you can assign, first I remember seeing it referenced, was in a patrol log written as a story.

so I just made the connection, I could be wrong.

My vote goes to Gilligan btw...

Every navy has it's Bernard. I think Bernard should stay. Although "Scooter" could be a good one!

Gilligan, now there was a NUT and a goofus. :rotfl: Would have voted for him if he were on the list. Heck he's even got experience in ship wrecks.


Speaking of goofs wasn't it the "Pink Submarine" where they sunk a truck on the BEACH with a torpedo? :rotfl: Who fired that one ??

The clueless nurse hit the fire button. I love that part of the movie. "We just sunk a truck, lets get the ******* outta here!"

Oh yea, it was Opperation Petticoat

Yes, that's the exact name.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053143/
The movie was made in 1959, however, and the line was "let's get the hell out of here".

Be sure and read the other quotes from the site. There are a lot of good ones.
