I hate that I'm probably going to have my tops out at RTC but I am all for it because they put you asleep and you'll be SIQ(Sick In Quarters) for like 2-3 days with pain meds and really only have to get out of your rack to like eat and hygiene and stuff. So yeah, you should WANT them to take them out in RTC. The pain after isn't too bad, you'll get pain pills that help immensely. I was playing trumpet like 4 days after mine were out... Not too bad.

They won't necessarily put you asleep to take out your wisdom teeth... I actually think it's relatively uncommon.
