Welcome to the USS Borie DD-704 Guestbook Forum

I served onboard from 9/69 to 5/1970 then transferred to fleet reserve (F6) for another ten years subject to recall if needed due to my TS crypto clearance and other qualifications however I was never recalled for active duty…I am now 88 and living a lonely but peaceful life.
