If they ask you during indoc (or the first night you get to boot camp) if you play any instruments, sing, do flags, was in ROTC, etc.. and you want to be in a 900 division, say YES. Keep in mind that 900 divisions will end up staying in boot camp a week or so longer than other divisions (at least when I went through)

3 years of JROTC. I don't mind having to stay a week longer, as long as its not the cause of being asmo'd..

It is extra work but it depends on how you look at it. RTC is set on a competetive basis. Divisions compete against one another for high scores. To my understanding, the 900 divisions don't spend much time focussing on earning those scores, and they focus on their drill. I spent a majority of my time at RTC working towards hall of fame.

The first night you get to RTC, during the in-processing (which you'll stay awake for about 45 hours straight, just so you know), an RDC (a petty officer or chief) will be walking around asking if you have experience in drill, or can play a musical instrument. When they ask that, tell them that you do. Those RDC's are looking for people to be in a 900 division. 900 divisons perform at graduations and go out in the city to appear in parades and things like that.
