Yep the Army will pay for the surgery as long as you meet the prerequisites and are willing to wait on the list. Or you can pay for it as long as it is from an approved physician. Long process involved to get on the list as well. Took me about 2 years and still looking at about 6-12 months till I actually get the operation.
