I was on board Cochrane 86-89 in #2 Fireroom as the only BT3 Topwatch on her, BT3 Pulley and yes Boyer you were in the best engine room #2 engine but you wouldn't be the best without the best fireroom #2 fire providing you the steam. B-Division rules!!!! Remeber the wild times in P.I. It is a heart breaker to see what happened to her, hope can get another ship named Cochrane the new destroyers?

Funny how a lot of these names brings back memories of guys I have not tghought of in years! I was onboard 83-85. Spent most of my time in trouble for one thing or another. Was MMOW in Main Control before fleeing the Nav. Living in California these days and life is great and greatly changed from those days! e-mail is This email address is being protected from spambots.
