There are plenty of back-stabbers out there who will be competing for the same dwindling number of "good deal" upgrades and assignments as you and won't bat an eye at ratting you out as a non-team player to the "leadership". SQ and OG commanders won't want to burn those choice upgrades and assignments on guys that they know don't relish the taste of blue Kool-Aid and who are going to jump ship at the first opportunity. Thus, you might find yourself sitting in front of a Predator console at Cannon on your second assignment with very little actual flight time under your belt. Seen it happen several times...
