The Times They Are A-Changin'

My granddad is a retired naval officer. He has been retired longer than he served, so it has been many moons. After my commissioning, my dad was asking me about my military ID. The military now uses a card called the CAC, or Common Access Card.



He was asking about the chip located on it and I told him that I can insert it in a slot on the keyboard to access a computer terminal. He then asked my granddad about his card. He responded that his current and former IDs did not have the chip and that in his day they didn't have things like keyboards.

Times they are a-changin'.
