Hi all. Posted this question on the USNavy OCS site but figured I would here as well.
I've been planning a minor surgical procedure for a while- hair restoration. For those who don't know this basically involves removing a strip of follicles from the back and moving it to the front. It leaves a pretty distinguishable scar on the donor site that you see when your hair is real short/shaved. I was thinking of getting it now because I have no idea when I'll get a chance to after I ship to OCS. Unless maybe I'm waiting for API or Primary. I'll need like 3-5 days of downtime though, from what I've heard. After that it'll have 0 effect on my ability to physically perform.
I basically see it as akin to if I lacerated my scalp and needed stitches. Would that possibly DQ me somehow?
If necessary, I will wait because I obviously don't want to jeopardize my chances...but someone who knows something about this would be really, really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
