What advice can you give about FABOLC and competing for a Ranger School slot while there?

When I went thru FAOBC, we had to attend the Light fighters leadership course afterwards and it was required to pass the course before being considered for a Ranger school slot..not sure if this course still exists

It was down to three slots when I went. National Guard guys have no shot because the money is sourced differently, you will realize pretty quickly who the top 5-10 guys are and it will be a horse race between these few. Good news is that many of my peers were able to go in the first year or so after BOLC. Good luck!
