Odds of Being in the Same Division

Ok so I went to MEPS with my friend and miraculously we both got the same ship date. My question is what are the odds that we will be placed in the same division at bootcamp. (oh and we are both girls)

I can't give you a guarantee, but the odds are pretty good. Almost everyone I shipped with got put in either my division or my brother div.

It depends, but being females it is more likely. Maybe you should put in for the "Buddy Program" if you are really friends. wow, not even sure they still do that one...

One thing for sure, if both of you can sing, or play a musical instrument, or hold flags then you will be in the same division. It will be the 900's division (the performance division).

Double what craig said if a State Flags division is picking up that week, they always take lots of females. Especially if you are both the right height.
