Thanks kidnelson. Is it protocol for the SR's to get their wisdom teeth pulled? Looks like several have told their families they have had them pulled. Just wondering......my son's were not ready to come out, we had them checked. So glad the division seems like they are really working as a team. Your SR is very thoughtful thinking of another SR's birthday! Nice!

@Robin - He might of said the 23rd :/ I cannot always hear him very well, he said the phones are not great! He might have his name in the letter that I should get this week. Is you son with Ship 03 Div 124?
@Nicks mom - I think it is protocol to have their wisdom teeth pulled if needed. I think I read in somewhere on this website also. Maybe under preparing for bootcamp. He also needed his removed, so glad it is over with. He said it was not to bad and is feeling good.

@kddnelson - UCK, wisdom teeth pulled. Can't imagine the pain if they weren't showing or ready to come out. Hopefully they give them pain killers and lots of ice cream like moms would! Will have to ask Nick next time he calls!

from the very get go my son's recruiter told him that as soon as he got to boot camp if he had wisdom teeth they would be taken out right away. They dont want any problems later with the teeth.

I talked to my SR's gf and asked if he told her if he got his wisdom teeth out and she said no but did get a cavity filled.

OH OK, thanks for the info. on the wisdom teeth, I had not heard that before!
