Warriors,
Securing a NIOBC* seat as a reservist is hard to come by, with most courses offering just 2 seats and a handful offering 3 seats for reservists. I have significant scheduling flexibility from January - August 2025 and really want to secure a seat for the military experience and extended learning.
Knowing full well the odds are already stacked against me to get a seat, what additional steps can I take to raise my odds, however incremental, of securing a seat? Roughly how good of a shot would I have with your recommended added steps? CANTRAC shows there are 3 NIOBC classes that currently overlap with my Jan - August availability in 2025, so I will be trying to secure a seat at any one of those.
V/R,

*NIOBC is the 6-month training with ADs that fulfills the requirement we'd otherwise complete as 1835s via the RNIOBC Phase 1 + RNIOBC Phase 2 path.
