Welcome to the USS Borie DD-704 Guestbook Forum

Went aboard the USS Borie in Norfolk,va 1969,discharged in 1970 in Alexandra,va on the Potomac.

Edgar Robertson, deceased. My father served on the Borie in 1943, when it was attacked on Nov. 1, 1943. He passed away in 1991. His rank was CM2c.

1962-1964 I was aboard the Borie during the Cuban blockade as described by Roger Gotcher. Roger and I enlisted in the USNR while in high school and were sent to the Borie as our first duty station. I reenlisted while aboard in order to go to class A school for Hospital Corpsman. I was in Vietnam 67-68 as a FMF corpsman and heard later that the Borie was off the coast of Vietnam during this time period, small world.

I caught up with Borie in Rota in 1967 as a new recruit. I was assigned in the officers’ wardroom. Made Carribean cruise and Vietnam campaign in Feb – Nov 1968. Borie was my home away from home!
