You're not in the Army until you're in the Army. If you have dental issues your reception will handle it so it won't present a problem in Basic and AIT. Or is this concerning a dependent?Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 17 at 2019 8:32 PM2019-01-17T20:32:25-05:002019-01-17T20:32:25-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member4295613<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Once you start drilling you receive credit for service meaning you are in the Army.
