You're likely among the last year or two to do so, brother. From the bottom of the Army Times article:
"To better meet the needs of the engineer regiment, the Sapper Leader Course is also now closed to other military occupational specialties, Wittmeyer said.
“We’re falling short, so right now the focus is to get those [additional skill identifier]-focused slots filled,” he said. “We can’t give away the slots that 12Bs need to fill.”
The school could be opened to other MOSs in the future, he said. In the meantime, soldiers from the infantry or Special Forces MOSs can apply for a waiver to attend the course.
Students who graduate from the course, which has been open to female soldiers since 1999, earn the coveted Sapper tab."
