Hi mcol,

HER doctor doesn't think it's necessary for you to be there, and YOUR Army doctor doesn't think so, either.

She makes this request one day before the procedure, timing that the Army is extremely likely to say "no" to?

Sounds to me like she's setting it up so this is yet another example of how your marital problems are all your -- and the Army's -- fault, and not a genuine desire for you to be there.

You know her best, but that's my take on it.

Choc.
