Welcome Aboard

Tea time(Earl grey, HOT) with the captain

if you were using a graphics-capable browser, you'ld meet me, T.C., aka Ensign McCloud.

While my stateroom is where I am bound to be found in when not "on duty"; here is a central space, somewhere you can delve a bit deeper, where I can flesh myself out a bit more.

If you have not guessed by now, I'm into Military things, as I have a Uniform Fetish. This odd, for me, as I spent 4 years in High School at a school that had the JROTC program. I graduated from there, and swore I'd never wear another uniform again. Guess who is eating his words? What makes it interesting is that I was also the Vice President and then President of RUST, which was a student org. I helped found for people into BDSM, Body Art, and Other Fetishes.Among other things that happened while I was with RUST were the number of guest speakers we had, representing a diverse set of points in S/M. If you want more info on Rust, I suggest you take the Tour of Duty While I am a Top, I'll bottom for the right man. I think though that BDSM has brought a lot of things, good and bad out of me, and that RUST was a good thing

I mentioned at the outset that I had an interest in History; I especially get into Jewish History. Because of this, among other things I've done that were Jewish oriented, my favorite was my internship at the Jewish Historical Society of Central Jersey. there I worked on several collections, including a collection of letters to the Jewish Welfare board(JWB) thanking them for hannukah presents that were sent out during World War II. What made this collection memorable was the fact that it was almost mesmerizing reading these letters, realizing that in many cases the writers were not much older than I was(23). Though if you asked Christine(the Archivist/Librarian/Caretaker/Goddess of the vertical file), she'd say it was the salami that almost everyone singled out in their letters as part of the packages the JWB sent out. :)

Because of its large population, the NYC/NJ/Philladelphia PA region has 2 major Gay synagogues, and a few really small one(incl. the Reconstructionist one in Belle Meade) Although from a philosophical view, I prefer the Synagogue in Philly, which is reconstructionist;the one in NYC, which is part of the reform movement is closer and their rabbi, Sharon Kleinbaum is really cool.

ATTENTION...This Just In...

  1. I'm looking for a few good men(all right, A good man). What I prefer is that he is Jewish, 25-36, in decent shape, willing to try anything once, loves/wants Children, and outgoing.
  2. Those wanting to do so, can reply by sending me E-Mail, via my address at the bottom of the screen.
  3. or you can send me a private message in IRC to "Ensign" or "EnsignM"
  4. I'm very friendly, so don't be shy!

Seen enough?

Have you decided to hang out and enlist;do you need more time and Information;or jump ship? If you want more info, there are things to do, like go into IRC to #gaySM on the EFnet, and ask the people with ops(the "@" sign by the nick) about "Ensign". You can take my Tour of duty and ask the people who's personal pages I've linked to about me(not the commercial sites please!). Or lastly, send me an E-mail-->I respond to all emails I get, within 24 hours.


I also plan on creating a page that has my writings, like my senior Thesis from my Seminar on "Modern Jewish Thought", and other works.
