I got that a few times, but it was for good reason.
A friend of mine and I got caught smoking once and I got the belt.
The worst part wasn't actually getting swatted it was waiting for my dad to get home to do it. He's a trucker and it was like 3 days before he got home.
But guess what, I don't smoke.
My dad was career officer in USAF and you are right...the worst part was waiting for him to get home......my big offense was playing on the RR tracks....but I have to say my dad was always fair...I had a choice of going to my room for the night or a spanking...I always took the spanking...it was over quick.
