My board name is Quahom. For those who dabble in Star Trek lore, it is a word one of the "alien" races use to describe a Human male child, before the right of ascension (becoming a man).
In reality I am a military man, with a loving mate and two strapping sons (who are about to plot their own course in life). I have served on every continent including Antartica, and have met many people from all walks of life.
I write poetry, compose music, jump from planes (for fun), dive deep beneath the seas (again for fun), read everything I can get my hands on, fish in rivers (and could care less if I catch anything), and think a lot about everything.
My primary mission (day job), is Search and Rescue on the high seas, followed by law enforcement, Aids to Navigation maintenance, and finally, Marine Safety compliance. Occasionally I must head into the battle zone and leave my first aid equipment behind...
I think of the God concept almost daily. I am awe filled at Man's achievements, and shudder at our attrocities. I have questions, and maybe I might have an answer or two...I don't know, but I'd like to find out.
I love a GOOD debate, smiling if I win, conceding gracefully if I lose. In my mind however, no one ever loses really, because all come away with something learned.
Thank you for allowing me to be here.
My two cents.

However, a honing stone can sharpen steel just as well, with a little spit, or oil...
