Will the Army fix my deviated septum during deployment ?

After complaints of snoring and realizing how bad the airflow is on the left side of my nose, I believe it may be due to a deviated septum.

I don't think you want a deployment surgery. Some Captain tried to give me a root canal in a wooden TOC out of a briefcase. Tell your battles to get ear pro and embrace the suck. But the short answer, no.

Not while on deployment, no. But, the Army will fix a deviated septum, I have several friends who've received the surgery.
As for Landstuhl, the Army isn't flying you out of country for surgery unless it's medically necessary for you to leave the country eg...life, limb, or eyesight.
