I can keep the UH-60, which was my second choice of helicopter–or I can switch to the OH-58, which was my first. I have 24 hours to make the decision.

Pros of switching: I get guns. I get a more interesting mission.

Cons of switching: I class up a month later–enough to be annoying; not enough to take the JLPT. I get fewer and worse duty stations. Higher risk. Lower toque. (Torque is all-important for helicopter flight.)

At this point, I feel like I might as well flip a coin. It all seems implausibly evenly balanced. What do you think?

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

(poll closes at noon tomorrow so I can deliver my answer on time)
