Hello all,
I apologize if this has been asked and answered. I cannot find a definitive answer on this.
I am looking to join the US Army as an officer. Female in late 20s, no criminal record, etc. College degree and two masters, speaks two foreign languages. Scoring 300+ in the PT, actually close to men's minimum.
My only issue is that about 10 years ago I had a breast reduction and liposuction. These were both cosmetic surgeries. I know breast reduction is waiverable. Liposuction, not so sure. Before you say it, I looked at the weight loss surgery standards. It is not listed and from literature I know it's not a weight loss surgery. Nor did I get it for that purpose. Suffice to say, neither surgery impacts me physically in any way (see PT scores).
I know I have to get a waiver, but is it totally disqualifying, or is it waiverable? Anyone know?
Thanks!
