Recruits that have some musical or drill and ceremony experience such as JROTC and ROTC are most likely to be the ones selected for this division. However, the final decision is made by the RDCs. Once assigned to the 900 division these recruits go through the same training as other divisions in addition to performance duties. It's all good... :)

900-divisons are performing divisions: band, choir, drill, honor guard, etc.. 800-divisons are pre-BUD/s, SpecOps, EOD, etc..  All other divisions are "normal" divisions.  Doesn't have any real effect after PIR unless going into a performing rating.
