I would be happy executing any mission and flying any DOD aircraft

If you carry this attitude in UPT, you'll do fine.  Remember, no matter how good you think you are in UPT, it's needs of the Air Force and timing for any MWS you might end up flying.   

All the missions link up at some point.  That's where the magic (or complete failures) happen.   

You won't regret Helos, just remember that typically you'll be held to picking up fat chicks at the bar.  The fighter dudes usually clear out all of the hot ones.

Except for the Eagle guys, they clear out all the crew chiefs.

I put this question out on the Make Them Tell You Know Facebook page, but never got a response. Compared to fighters and heavies, how competitive are HH-60 Guard/ Reserve slots?
