Could my husband join the air force with a missing spleen?

It was removed after a bad motorcycle accident. I heard the spleen has no use after the age of 17.Could my husband join the air force with a missing spleen?
This is what it said about the Spleen. It looks like he can since it was taken out for trauma.





(2) Splenectomy (P41.5), except when accomplished for trauma, or conditions unrelated to the spleen, or for hereditary spherocytosis (282.0).

Tell him to call the recruiter and find out for sure.Could my husband join the air force with a missing spleen?
If it was removed because of trauma it is not disqualifying. If it was removed because of some disease process it is.
