Are you going to ask for a switch every time the promotions are increased?

The items listed are only up to Sergeant Third Class...by the time, you get to the upper echelons, I'm sure all three companies will have comparable equipment with slight variations. Yes, it seems like some items are alot better than others right now, but I don't think you will be gimped in any way in the long run. So live with the consequences of your decision.
