Just wanted to thank everyone who shares info at this message board…. I’ve learned a lot.  I’ll be heading to McMurdo for the first time this October.  I’m quite excited, and am sticking to the paperwork and PQ stuff like glue.  I’m a bit nervous about the dental stuff.  I haven’t had my apt yet, but I do have two impacted wisdom teeth.  I’ve never had any problems with them – do you think they’ll make me take them out?  And, is that something that I’ll have to pay for, or does Raytheon cover that cost?  I’ve had one dentist say I might need a crown, but another dentist say that that tooth was fine.  I hope I can get by without having to get a crown – is that something else I’d have to pay for?  Is there anything else  I should be worried about to PQ?  How long does the whole process take?   I think I should be getting my PQ paperwork anyday now….
