The views expressed on the site by non-federal commentators do not necessarily reflect the official views of the Military Health System, the Department of Defense, or the federal government.
We recognize that the Web is a 24/7 medium, and your comments are welcome at any time. However, given the need to manage resources, moderating and posting of comments will occur during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. Comments submitted after hours or on weekends will be read and posted as early as possible; in most cases, this means the next business day.

If you do voluntarily include personally identifiable information in your comment, such as your name, that comment may be edited for content or it may not be posted to Health.mil. If your comment is posted, your name will not be redacted or removed. In no circumstances will comments be posted that contain Social Security numbers, addresses, e-mail address or phone numbers. You have the option of posting comments anonymously.
