Pretty much in half. The nerve is exposed and all. Is this going to disqualify me or something, or will they just knock out the other half in bootcamp? I can't get to a dentist since my insurance sucks, so I can deal with it for now. But does anyone know if this is going to cause a problem with my enlistment? Thanks in advance.

If you have gone to MEPS then I don't think so but I'd tell my recruiter.
NOW if you haven't gone to MEPS then yes this may be a issue.
Regardless its something to tell you recruiter.

I wouldnt think that this would be a DQ, I would most definately call my recruiter and tell him about this though. I am pretty sure though this could set back your ship date.
Maybe you should do like Tavish and lock yourself in your room till you ship.
Teeth can effect your performance once it starts to go bad by pain, getting infected, and/or other stuff.
So yes it can disqualify you and you should get it dealt with.
....Do like "Tavish"...I've become the example of things not to do while in the DEP. "Tune in next to see how he will injure himself next!"

hahaha My apologies on the mispelling of your name. Just make sure you dont do anything else before you hit MCRD
Doesn't bother me, most people say my name wrong, let alone spell. My best friend said my name wrong for 2 years before he heard my mom say it.
