Default Army Reserves/Guard Pilot question

I am going up for my Flight Warrant Officer board. My question is Do I get to pick what aircraft I want to flight in the Army Guard or Reserves?

You fly the aircraft of the assigned unit. Most units require that you live within x amount of distance from the unit location. In my experience, this isn't enforced with a heavy hand.

For the Reserve, when you apply, you are applying against a position within a particular unit. Whatever that unit flies is what you'll get. For the Reserve, your options are UH-60A/L, UH-60M, or CH-47F. There are a couple of FW positions, but those are unlikely unless you live in the right place.
