So, as I understand it, the US Army has certain dress codes regarding body modifications (piercings, tattoos, etc.) However, having been a civilian slacker all my life, I'm not up to date on the latest regulations in the US Army. Therefore, I'm hoping for some input:
How would the US Army handle a D&D (3rd edition) elf trying to join up, purely in terms of reaction to the ears?
For the sake of this discussion, this is the only elf on the planet and, yes, this is the real world, current US Army, not one that frequently sees demihumans trying to join up. Assume the trickier issues - citizenship, ID, medical - are covered.

Well, as long as the Army can be convinced that the ears are natural, there shouldn't be a problem...it would be no different than, say, someone who was born with only one nostril.
Note I said should..we are talking about the army here

Eh...I doubt it.
I was thinking of the cover story, "It's plastic surgery I got when I was a dumba$$ kid."
Since elves aren't real, what's the Army going to believe? That an immigrant attempting to hasten his citizenship status by joining the Army is an elf?
