The sound of my father’s “U.S. Government issue blue webbed” belt coming out of those BDU belt loops was enough to make my face go pale.

and more likely than not, I got exactly what was coming to me

Dad's wasn't gov. issue, but that sound is as vivid in my mind as anything I can remember.

Happy Father's Day To All!

lol, I know exactly what you mean, see above.

I also got the "this is going to hurt me more than it is you" thing.....which never computed for a second and was absurd on its face, lol.

My father would make me go to his closet and get one of his belts. I remember standing there looking and wondering which one would hurt less.

The worst experience I ever remember was the one day when I was about 16 and called my mother a 'bitch' - my father didn't use a belt that time. I remember when he found out he called me out of my room and asked me "What did you call my wife?" - growing up my father whenever talking to me or any of the kids had always referred to my mother by saying "your mother". I got punched in the mouth and I will never forget it. More importantly, I learned my lesson the hard way.
