Stars and Stripes: Senators question nominee for deputy defense secretary about defense budget, fighting sexual assault
WASHINGTON — The size of the next defense budget and the Pentagon's lack of progress in addressing sexual assault were the focus Tuesday as senators questioned Kathleen Hicks during her confirmation hearing to be the next deputy defense secretary.
“If confirmed, I will assist [Defense] Secretary [Lloyd] Austin in bringing enduring, consistent focus to total force health and quality…We must root out violent extremism, systemic racism, sexual assault and harassment, and other inhibitors to readiness,” Hicks said during her opening statement before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

What more can they do? There already is yearly SHARP training.

The number of work hours in a year is approximately 2,000. The military gets 2 or more hours of SHARP training yearly.
"A report recommended about 60 changes to address the problems--from improved training on seamanship, navigation and the use of ship equipment to more basic changes to improve sleep and stress management for sailors."
Maybe the military could cut back on other training to increase hours for SHARP?
Sexual harassment will go up under Biden. After all, if he can get away with it, should not the rest of them get away withy it?
Leadership by example!
"In 2017, the Gateway Pundit exclusively reported that a Secret Service agent was suspended for a week in 2009 for
shoving then-Vice President Joe Biden
after he cupped his girlfriend’s breast, while the couple was taking a photo with
him."
So Joe is a breast man not a leg man.
LEADERSHIP!
