the civilian dentist had already told my son that his needed to come out so we were all very surprised when the boot camp dentist said nope, they can stay. Fast forward a year-ish to his first dental checkup at his duty station and the first thing the dentist said was 'make an appt to take them out'.
FWIW - DS said he thinks it was better that way because he got to be 'sick in quarters' for a couple of days in his own barracks room with his computer and tv etc... rather than in sick bay at boot camp.

He has never had them removed but has had braces, and they didnt feel like he needed them removed. I told him if he had a choice not to do it. Im a nures and have concerens about healing and his ability to meet the phyiscal demands of boot camp

I am pretty sure hers do need to come out but I myself have worries. I have had no news since she left on 3/28 so have no idea if she had them taken out or not. I guess I will find out sooner or later!

Typically done Training week 2 day 5 followed by SIQ (Sick in Quarters) for 2 days. They are closely monitored by their Shipmates and the RDC's My Sailor did not have his out in BC but had the out at his first duty station. He had a rough go of it since one was impacted and infected. Probably a good thing he didn't have them out in BC. You can read more about Boot camp at http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433
By this day they are beyond tired so the idea of getting to sleep for 2 days is great for those who are SIQ. It's hard on the others! -
