The Army has finally admitted that this surgery is
permissible, and has even (allegedly) begun performing
it.  However, the waiting list is going to be
ridiculous.  Basically, if I got on it now, I might
get the surgery done by the Army about the same time I
pin on Sergeant Major.	For one thing, most military
hospitals don't have the equipment to do it.  Oh, and
they're sorting by MOS which means pilots and
infantrymen are first.	I believe combat engineers
will be ahead of pogues but behind all other combat
arms, as usual.
