"Being in the Guard, in a non-airborne state, how implausible would it be for an E6 11B to ask for a HALO slot?"
About as likely as finding a well dressed unicorn at walmart who has the winning lotto numbers for the upcoming 1.34 billion dollar pot, and is able to speak those numbers to you in Mandarin with a French accent .

Anything is possible, but not everything is probable. If you can get an O5 or up to sign off on your attendance is just one part of the problem set. HALO school is taught a Yuma Proving Ground and the SOF community has priority of all school slots. Getting them to release a seat to a non-SOF Soldier from the National Guard, assigned to a unit without an airborne mission is a huge hurdle to overcome.

Understood Sir, I know it’s a more wishful-thinking request, but being a young NCO I like to take my chances. Again, thank you for the advice, Sir.

Get into the 19th or 20th SFG. They probably have shoe-in slots. They have elements in NC, WV, OH, and MD.

Just because he gets into 19th or 20th GRP, does not mean he will go. Priority will always go to long tabbers.
