The 101st used to run a Division pre-Ranger course, which if you successfully completed pretty much guaranteed you a slot for Ranger school. You got selected by your battalion to attend the pre-ranger course. If you were a stud, and E4 or above with an 11 series MOS, and met all the requirements, getting into a pre-Ranger slot was not hard at all. Pass that and it was on to Ranger school within the next 6 months. Airborne or Pathfinder was pretty much impossible. Not sure if they still do a division pre-Ranger or not but I am sure somebody knows.

When I was assigned to 3/320th FA, all the 13F's that attended RIP passed Ranger school. Actually, I was told that the 101st had the highest success rate for those that successfully completed their RIP.

Your best bet if you want Airborne would be to try and get into the 160th. I heard it was hard to get assigned to them but once your in, the sky is the limit on schools!! Good Luck!

Pathfinder is easier to get since DIVARTY stood up but it usually goes to Gunnery Sergeants or higher leadership positions. Although there was a PFC from Air Traffic when I went so it depends on your MOS. There are many schools in Campbell so my recommendation is to stand out and maybe you can get the schools you'd like. Just know Pathfinder is one of the hardest schools I have attended, study , study, study and good luck
