DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Has anyone heard about them having their wisdom teeth pulled??????? Why would they do that?????????
-

Go to blogs tab, then bootcamp forums, then scroll down. There is a blog there about it. It sounds like it is a precaution. It sounds to me like they get the dental exam, sometimes replace old fillings, and remove wisdom teeth that have any potential for problems. This way they are battle ready. Would be terrible to be in a sub, on a mission (or really far away), with major toothache and a crew depending on you, and then not be able to get immediate attention.
