that means that the rcts in that division can plan an instrument, sing or know how to march while carrying a flag. They also work in the background at PIR's

These recruits must pass the same physical requirements. They must also audition for the job. These guys are excellent and serious musicians. I had inquired about this for a family friend.

Thank you BunkerQUEENBee ...... I was very curious on exactly what that meant being in a 900s Div.
My Dau was a gymnast for the last 10years. she is 19yrs old ...i know she is not playing any musical instruments cause she cant and she cant sing either lol.... Would you happen to have any other info

Thank you so much ...
