Hello all,
My username is obviously Omok.
I am a former member of the military, hence the Sergeant Avatar.
I currently live in PA USA.
I grew up in AL USA.
I have been fascinated with alomst all things Trek since the age of 9 seeing my first ever TOS on Nickelodeon.
I have a wonderful wife who has graced me with her presence for over 11 years and an 8 yo son who makes me prouder by the day.
I have studied linguistics in my personal time and I am fascinated by all things linguistic.
I hope to enjoy many posts and fruitful discussions here and maybe even have some fun too.
~Omok~
PS: I also enjoy music, art and philosophy.

Hi, welcome to STV,
What kind of music do you like? My BIL (brother-in-law) is from Johnstown PA. But he's a Steelers fan, so I try not to talk to him,

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with our scars

I like a wide range of music, from classical to prog-rock and a lot inbetween.
I don't however find country music all that enjoyable.

Cool! I'd love to learn Arabic, but I don't think I'll ever get the chance. I've never been really good with languages (despite having tried three of them...).

I've already PMed you a welcome, but I might as well do it here too. So, welcome to the site, Omok! Furthermore, I thank you for your service to the military. Your apparent devotion shows much about your character, and I take pride in calling you a new member of this site I assume you are ranked a Sergeant?

Thank you all again.
Of the forums I have joined, this is by far one of the most friendly.

Hi Omok!
I am just looking to contact everyone in our crew so I hope my shout out is welcome.
Love languages but the syntax and other variables is more linguistic and I have trouble with English most times
Anyway I hope to see more posts from you in the future.
