I'll beat the dead horse a little....
I think charlie co. would be the best weatherwise. I'm in Alpha, and I am a cold wuss. I don't like having to carry around a lot of extra gear during the winter exercises. It would be nice not to carry a scarf, beanie, extra sleeping bag, goretex jacket, sweatshirt, field jacket liner, gloves, hand warmers, etc... during humps and stuff.
On a long hump, you'll sweat even if it's 20* outside. It would be nice not to freeze inside your own sweaty T-shirt during the 10 minute breaks.

Gotta love Alpha...don't worry it will get better...MOUT for your guys should be cool but not hot or cold...
Your humps will get much much better and you will be glad you got alpha...
Charlie this past June ended up with 5 heat casualties running their intro to the E course and they had to start it almost before daylight and ran it much thicker (more Lts on the trail at a time) than we ever did...

Unless you already have your orders nothing is guarenteed..I was in a similar boat (only sub in May, FOX instead) and just never got orders for FOX so after FOX picked up my OSO changed to saying ALPHA...
It is common for them to tell you upon graduation what company you will get, its just not common for them to be right...

I graduated in september and was told that I would be in charlie co. I was also told that I would do IFS after TBS. However, things changed and i'm doing IFS right now before picking up with charlie co. in april.
Grass is greener
After being through TBS, I can say with certainty that the weather in Pensacola is generally nicer than Quantico. The best time to do TBS is last year, which means that you're in Florida now.

Alpha has been fine for us as far as Im concerned. We have managed to dodge the bad weather and the rain has been minimal. We have shivered a little, but never thought I was gonna freeze to death or lose any extremities. Its starting to warm up a bit, and with a little over 2 months less, the end is not as distant as it seems to be. However, I dont think I ever want to come back to Camp Barrett ... ever. But thats me... s/f
