Situation Report
FORT BENNING, Ga. — One soldier is making good use of his seventh Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) representative class in as many weeks, sources report, by documenting innovative harassment methodologies to implement after returning to his unit.
Sgt. John Thompson, a self-described "harassment virtuoso" assigned to 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, logged nearly 100 man hours meticulously documenting and formatting over a dozen three-ring binders of cutting edge intimidation and coercion techniques for his own personal use.
"I admit, I was pretty upset the first time I had to go," said Thompson. "But once I got there and discovered all of the latest tactics in sexual harassment, I was hooked."
Skills like taping photos of spouses to the back of bathroom stalls, passive aggressive comments on female soldiers' uniforms "tightness," and hiding slides of his genitals in the Battalion Update Briefing (BUB) slides are only a few of the many tips Hay received at the hands of expert SHARP instructors.
