I've just picked up specialist back in December and I want to start working towards my next promotion. other than BLC and correspondence courses what can I do to help me get E-5? As well, is BLC required for that promotion? I've been told my state is lacking funding so it's going to be tough to get a slot in BLC.

Most important is to be able to apply your knowledge and demonstrate that you are a capable leader. You can do everything you mentioned, BLC, ect., and still lack leadership traits. Display confidance and the ability to lead. Gain the trust from your leaders. Don't jump into a position which might overwhelm you.
