With his season with Levallois over, 36 years old Boris Diaw joined the French Navy today as a “citizen reserve” in the naval base of Toulon.
Diaw received his sailor beret at an official ceremony. However, don’t expect to see Boris Diaw on active duty. “He will belong to the citizen reserve, not the operational reserve, it will be a link between the army and the nation around the world,” explained the communication department of the French Navy.
The first mission of Boris, after all, will be leading the French national team once more in the FIBA World Cup qualifying games on June and July.
However, he is ready to serve when he is called! Just watch the video.
