Agree with everything Cric said...

At my old unit we had an "O" NQP. Complete physical stud and went to SFAS. Had no problems until he was not selected at the end. Why? He had little leadership experience. Nice enough guy but didn't have what the board was looking for. You don't need a NQP program to train. Don't ever ask your team/unit to do something that you aren't willing to do. Ranger school would be a great asset to someone with a non-combat MOS. Read 7-8, read the Ranger Handbook, re-read, and continue the process. Know the basics.

Like Cric said - the guys probably aren't ignoring you. They probably realize that your situation isn't on the front burner. There's lots of other NQP issues to deal with - Like guys in the course, or about to go to selection, etc... If you're still die-hard to go train, take the day to go talk to the guys in the office not just a phone call.
