Bigger Breasts for Free: Join the Army
2004-07-22
The U.S. Army has long lured recruits with the slogan "Be All You Can Be," but now soldiers and their families can receive plastic surgery, including breast enlargements, on the taxpayers' dime.
"A Army Of Two" "We're looking for a Few Good Breasts"
The New Yorker magazine reports in its July 26th edition that members of all four branches of the U.S. military can get face-lifts, breast enlargements, liposuction and nose jobs for free -- something the military says helps surgeons practice their skills.
I always asked to see their training records, I hate being somebody's OJT training aid.
"Anyone wearing a uniform is eligible," Dr. Bob Lyons, chief of plastic surgery at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio told the magazine, which said soldiers needed the approval of their commanding officers to get the time off. Between 2000 and 2003, military doctors performed 496 breast enlargements and 1,361 liposuction surgeries on soldiers and their dependents, the magazine said. The magazine quoted an Army spokeswoman as saying, "the surgeons have to have someone to practice on."
Practice on the healthy, perfect your skills before you work on wounded soldiers.

#10  Lured by the promise of a free liposuction, Michael Moore joined the Army, little realizing what lay in store for him after the surgery. . . .

#3  I knew a woman who got them reduced while whe was in the service. I didn't know they did it the other way. So they do about 125 a year to keep up their skills? Sounds about right. BE ALL THAT YOUR BREAST CAN BE! FYI I like the natural ones, big or small.

#2  I've known several females (not in the biblical sense) who've gotten breast jobs done. So long as they take leave and do it on their own time I say good for them.
