Chief? As in Chief Petty Officer? We certainly had the dreaded white glove inspection every Saturday morning after your chores were done. Only then could you go outside and play. He was army, 10th Armored-3rd Army 42-45.
Those guys killed a lot o' nazis! and those nazis killed a lot of them.80% were replaced and more than 10% KIA (30,000 divisional strength when they landed in Cherbourg.)

Yes my Father was a CPO, retired but never he really left the Navy. My Mother was a Photographer in the Navy when they met and married. So a united front was applied to the five kids.

Nothing wrong with a little discipline as long as it is fair and consistent in the implication. Something I have tried to do in my life.
