Thats including the airborne "tab" though right? I think the rule is still only 3 tabs at a time, unless said tab is apart of the unit patch (mountain/airborne).

After Ranger School and you show promise of becoming a leader in that platoon you will be sent to other schools during the training period called con skills. Sometimes you have to miss fixed or rotary wing but you'll get the schools. As for what school that depends on slots and whether or not you're a shit bag or a squared away leader. They'll range from the "cool guy" schools or you could get stuck with a language school or something less high speed.

Pure rewriting of history. In 1987-1989, I commanded the HQ Command for Army South (USARSO) in Panama. Every year the Military Academy (West Point) would send Cadets to JOTC. I hade an agreement with the JOTC Commandant to send 2 or 3 of my enlisted females to the school each year, The female cadets and my troopers always did well.
