Pentagon Dumps SHARP, Replaces It With Spay/Neuter Program
After receiving complaints numbering in the hundreds of thousands by military personnel in all branches, the Pentagon has decided to replace the completely ineffective and annoying SHARP program with a less boring and much quicker spay/neuter clinic for all personnel.
The most common complaints are that Power Point programs leave people bored to death, asleep and snoring, or terrified of even looking at their fellow soldiers, Marines, airmen, or shipmates.
One Marine complained bitterly about not even being glanced at sideways by the women in his unit, thanks to SHARP. “It deflated my sense of who I was,” LCPL Brandon Perkshire said. “I always thought I was a hunk. I mean, look at these guns, willya? Since attending SHARP, I’ve spent more time in the company of stray dogs and pizza delivery men than I do with women. I have regular conversations with my trouser trumpet because it’s so lonely, but I’m getting no joy out of it. Pep talks aren’t working too well, either. Seriously, if I want some pussy, I have to go to a no-kill cat shelter.”
He sounded somewhat bitter, however, when asked if he thought his social life might pick up with this program, he brightened up considerably. “Geez, I sure hope so,” LCPL Perkshire said. “I’d feel more like going back to Hooters to watch the games with my buddies.”
Navy PO2 Laura Boatman’s response to the change was welcoming. “I like the idea,” she said. “It makes it so much easier to do family planning if I can store my eggs in cryo and choose the baby daddy from a list of healthy prospects, with photos included. It will really take a load off my mind.”
The proposed change will allow service members to avail themselves of low-cost spay and neuter services at $75 a pop through a local large animal veterinarian if the service is not available where they are based. For example, NAVSTAGLAKES in northeastern Illinois can accommodate all of the service personnel in the Midwest, or refer active duty personnel to the large animal vet clinic at the University of Illinois in Urbana if the distance to NSGreat Lakes is too great.
“What the Pentagon has noticed is that in the Military Working Dog Corps, the female dogs don’t come in heat and the male dogs are not even remotely interested in them,” an unidentified spokesman said. “The only real concern is that female service members might become overly interested in chasing squirrels or digging under cabinets for lost items, and the male service members may start demanding their own kong toys and biscuit breaks. And they’ll probably all want walkies after work, too.”

If I had to ever sit thru one of those slide shows, I’m sure my Heat Seeking Moisture Missle, would never get off the pad!
I’m sure if you hunch over and rapidly pound the bottom of the table top, you would be excused.

You need to send that to Duffelblog.
I did. They didn’t get back to me. I’ll keep trying.
I know some folks that should apply for this procedure.
It would make the world a better place.
What they ought to do is “correct” anyone separating from service with a substandard discharge.
PH2 – never knew you knew my wife… this explains so much.
I don’t understand why women in the military use pregnancy as an excuse to get out of work, but can’t figure out that belching loudly, acting nauseated and declaring morning sickness would likely get them out of SHARP lectures. Men could find a way out by using the 24-hour hernia excuse, or asking if the instructor has anything for a priapism problem.
Don’t give the SHARP/EO folk ideas… some of ’em might do the job with a paper-cutter.
Sadly enough, this is more believeable than some of the posers we see on here.
Thank you!
If you ever read Jonathan Swift’s essay ‘A Modest Proposal’, then you know what the goal is: to reach that belief level and have people go ‘WHAT!?!?!?’
Comments not realizing what this story is in 3,2….
Okay, I got my Honorable Discharge in “73. What is SHARP? (it don’t sound good)
SHARP is a program that is presented in Power Point format designed to put the attendees to sleep because the rooms are overheated and have no windows for fresh air.
SHARP stands for sexual harassment and rape prevention. Doesn’t seem to work very well.
Considering the subsection of the military that needs it (read: field grade and above) are the ones that usually exempt themselves from it.
I wouldn’t necessarily object to SHARP training if units would accurately account for who took it at required times.
I have now been through the class nine times in less than three years.
I know that at times I’m thick headed, but come on!
It is required quarterly in the Army as per AR 350-1. So in three years, thats 12 SHARP briefs we go through. With a sign in roster and make up dates. Units have to be as close to 100% as possible. That is in addition to quarterly EO and MRT briefs.
It is actually, Sexual Harrassment, Assault, Response and Prevention.
Think of it as a sexual version of CDAAC and HREO.
I am not sure what it is either being a Brit. I guess it’s similar to the treatment the woofter Mr Bradley Manning is after, testicles chopped off, and so on.
Wait, this isn’t real?
Cocksuckers.
The more I read about SHARP lectures, the more I want to do this.

Oh yes! One of the funniest movies ever!
One of the great scenes of all time. Thanks, I can always use a good laugh.
SHARP always was nothing but a CYA item for the Pentagon. The dumbasses that are going to cause problems are gonna do it regardless of SHARP training, SHARP just gives the brass the chance to say “see, we told them not to do that! It’s not our fault!”
Ding! Ding! Ding! Thank you, finally someone else said it. This, along with EO, TARP, IA, and Resilience training, needs to go and stop wasting valuable man hours. Either you get it or you don’t. No amount of power point slides are gonna dissuade a determined rapist.
I did find a way to stop it, one which worked nicely, too.
I told the guy ‘Fine. Get a divorce now. I want kids, I want this, that, the other thing, you name it, I want it. The next time I see you, you’d better have an engagement ring with a rock the size of Gibraltar, a marriage license, a church date, and a priest, because that’s the only way you’re getting into my pants.’
For some reason, he never bothered me again. I don’t understand that at all.

Most of the cases of sexual harassment and sexual assault I’ve heard of in the military are coming from the SHARP reps and trainers.
“look at these guns”? I said that to my wife last night
“gunS”? Plural? Hmmmm.
Geez. See if I ever mention breeding anything in front of you ever again! *eyeroll*
