Maybe, there are other factors involved.  Please use the following IRS interactive link What is my filing status? to determine your filing status.  Because she was in training, count the days she was at boot camp and job training as days with you.  Another IRS interactive link you can use to help determine if you can still claim her as a dependent is; Who Can I Claim As A Dependent.  Scroll down to get to begin each of these interactive questionnaires.  I would also recommend that you print out the results and put with this year's tax return for your records.
