I would bring a change of clothes for your new Marine. Most everyone in the platoon I graduated with couldn't wait to get into civilian clothes.

The initial dental visit is just like a check up. They x-ray your mouth and a dentist will look inside your mouth. They don't clean your teeth or do any other dental work at that time. Get all your...
