That's why I joined the Navy. That and the whole drunken sailor image we had to uphold............
I was a Sea Bee so the only reputation we has was that we never pay child support.
Sea Bee eh? Go play with your erector set.......
I loved the heck out of erector sets. I'm 65 so old school. Mine were motorized, most. I made a robot, let it loose outside the kitchen and scared the shit outta Mom. Tinkertoys and Lincoln logs also lots of creative fun.
Generation gap? We learned mechanics, forces, power, construction, creativity and much more.
Now? Learn how to masturbate at 8, Commie indoctrine, learn which bathroom to use....
I'm trying. I do try to understand the younger gen. I know they aren't dumb, at all. May act it sometimes but so did we. There is some plan. Years back with kids in the basement on video games and KILLER at them I thought, "maybe some military application for some?" Make good drone operators I guess.
