My understanding is that 900 divisions are performing recruits. My daughter (also this division) was told that if she volunteered for choir, band, honor, etc, she would be in this division.

On the main page of this PIR group under the "Pages", which is under the member icons on the right side of the main page, there is a page called ships/divisions What they are and how they fill them. If you click on that title it will take you to a page about all the divisions. At the bottom of the page there is a link to the 800 and 900 divisions. That page has a little more insight on what goes on with those two divisions.
Here are the links.

Thank you veteran Moms for all you do to make this site possible. I've learned a lot more than I knew about what my daughter is going through now and it helps me feel connected.

Thank you, everyone who puts time in to share information with everyone!
I can't even describe how it feels to have some idea of what my kid is doing! I didn't have any idea what she would be doing.
She was a cheerleader in highschool, and did some show choir in middle school.
Thank you! I can't wait to hear her voice... or even a letter!!

I'm happy to be on the site and connecting with other moms. Does anyone else feel like there's so much to learn? I was hoping my son would join the band groups. It sounds like he's in the stick group. That's cool, too. Looking forward to learning more and making connections with other RDC parents.

YES Pink, everyday I learn something new! I learned the term "grad n go" just yesterday, since my girl will go to Pensacola for A school, we won't have much time with her after graduation :( I didn't know that before..
