There was a fight in the mess hall kitchen involving 3 cadets and one, cadet Kami Robertson, was caught. The next morning she had to report to her commanding officer. After a good scolding he took her across his knee and gave her a special naval spanking with a stinging wooden spatula. She then refused to give the names of the other cadets so she was bent over the back of a chair for a sound bare bottom birching. Kami was stuborn and defiant and only after her thighs were birched, did she reveal the names of the other cadettes involved.
