I know it is mostly luck, but I kinda want to be in a 900 division. I arrive at RTC 20140217 at night I am sure. What should I look for and what should I do to make myself stand out to be chosed. I use to play the Baritone (small Tuba) in school but haven't in years. I know how to march and hold flags and such. I am also 29 years old going in as E3 HM. Please, any advice would be helpful to lead me to the potential or best shot of getting into a 900 division.

Can I ask why you want to be in a 900 division so badly? Just by being in that performance division will not help you later in fleet. Once out of boot, everything you did there wont amount to a hill of beans.

not particular reason, wont be bummed if I don't get into it. I have always be a performance person so it is just something I am interested. I know it wont help me in the fleet later, and nothing really at boot will. Just a desire of mine.

I was in marching band colorguard in high school and flipped the rifles around. When they say "guard experience" would this qualify? I'd like to do this, but don't want to say I have guard experience and it not be the right thing and then they get mad at me for it!!

I've seen a few PIR's online and the do have people that flip/ throw the rifles around.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply! That's helpful information. From what I gather there's no real incentive to participate in 900 division, other than saying you were in it. Is that accurate?
