I will not say nothin' bad about my dad. 32yrs in the marines, 5 tours of Nam...wasn't around much in my real young days, not till he retired in 1972. He was a mil. radio repairman. All of them, from the pric 77 to the ones in the aircrafts...I remember from real young , long before transistors, if the TV, or radio quit working or wasn't exactly right, he had it fixed in real short order. After he retired, It was back supporting the troops in special services. Still wasn't around a lot, but was when really needed.
I will say this though, He had a few rules...Do it right the first time, and you wont have to do it again...Never question anything an adult tells you...If you take a second helping at the table, better eat all of it...
When it came to discipline, first he cut his eyes at you, if it kept on, it was a snap of the fingers...IF that didn't get your attention, your rear got warmed up but good.
He never just threw something away, It got fixed...or repaired, how ever you looked at it.
