I just graduated BLC. How big of a deal is it that I was named to the Commandant's list?

Fairley big deal. Counts for promotion points as well as looks good later on in your career when getting looked at for SFC and above.

The big deal is that you were successful and you applied yourself. Both good character traits.
Congrats.

From a company commanders perspective, you've elevated your profile in a good way. You've shown me that you can be trusted with more than your peers of the same rank because you've risen to the top. That said, after the graduation it's up to you to show the CoC and CoR your not just an academic, but can produce the same quality results in everything you do.
Remember this, if it's the shit cleaning detail, take pride in having the cleanest shitters in the Army. Never complain about it. It will not go unnoticed and you won't be supervising this crap detail for long. Take care of your soldiers, always seek perfection in the most mundane details, and always follow up with people. You'll rise quickly.

Congratulations, but it's not really what Big Army thinks (though every promotion point helps with your local boards), it's what you are going to do moving forward -- Are you going to rest on your laurels and make the rest of your career based on performance at BLC or are you going to continue to perform and live to the high standards that you've set for yourself?

Big Deal especially if your in a low density MOS when getting looked at for SFC later on in your career. Most units see that as a AAM but if your supervisor has not put you in for one. Write it up send me your 1059 and unit info. and all get it to them. Another thing is make sure that your 1059 states commandants list and when it is added to your ERB the ACH column should say CL next to Basic Leaders Course. Good luck! Congrats!
