I take it you are a US citizen otherwise it would be pointless posting? I flew as an IP a few years back and enjoyed it, but then I didn't have to do back to back Korea which I'm told has been added to with Afghanistan. The point I'm making is that they have been short of pilots due to a retention problem for some time so expect to be busy. The work ethic may be something you are familiar with but it takes some getting used to, on the other hand you get to fly an 'advanced' type like a CH47 or Blackhawk or even better the AH64.
You also get to shout "Sir" at every opportunity followed by "yes Sir" even louder which is good fun but wear earplugs!
Also it seems like a requirement to chew tobacco and spit into clear containers, carry it around until warm, then leave it for someone else to clean up! The stains on the ramp are not necessarily oil marks!!
When you go to Fort Rucker dont go out at night too far from fighter town, there's critters out there!!!!!!!
Good luck.
