No doubt. When I was in high school shop class back in the 70s my shop teacher threw a 2 x 4 at me. No one batted an eye...and I probably deserved it.
My thoughts exactly. What a bunch of wimps stationed aboard this ship that they find being pushed or having a wadded up piece of paper being thrown at them as abusive. Good thing they weren’t in the Navy 40 or 50 years ago. Then again, perhaps these sailors are the type that just can’t stand women in the Navy. There are plenty of them still around, too.
we had a band teacher that if you were goofing off would ping you with an eraser from across the room before you knew it....
My world history teacher (junior high football coach most of the day) used to challenge the males in the classroom to see how many whacks they could stand from his ventilated paddle. Sort of a rite of passage. Imagine the uproar nowadays.
