15p can go a few different ways. You can be in an S3 shop just doing battalion tracking and paperwork, or go to flight ops and track flight records and etc. Very easy MOS but very boring MOS for the most part. If you go this route I recommend looking into 160th SOAR.

I shipped out of fort Meade. Don’t talk, just listen to what your told. Don’t bring anything except what you need to get ready the next day as your stuff will be scanned through and you’ll put it in a cubby room with everyone else’s. No weapons or lighters. Don’t piss anyone off and just do what you’re told. It’s gonna be a long morning.
You will line up outside in the cold, get a run down, get cattled into the building, go to your liaison, get your packet and go to medical briefing fill out paperwork. Blood pressure, eye exam, hearing test, blood test, urinalysis, physical, (once you pass), back to your liaison and wait for instructions. Lunch somewhere in there.

There is not really a thing called free time at basic lol. You get some personal time before lights out to shower and get ready for the next day and maybe write letters or something. I showered got stuff together, wrote a letter and went to bed before lights out. You usually get an hour a night where you are on guard with someone else for your barracks and wake up is a 0430. Just go in with the idea that you’re going to get yelled at for breathing and existing, don’t take it personal and graduate.

15P here, 2017 AIT grad. Ft. Rucker is fine, it’s small and if you follow the rules it’s not a hard place to live. Accommodations are fine, the command makes all the rules so it’s useless to speculate about what is and isn’t allowed. The job is what you make it and depends on what kind of unit you go to. Maybe you’re a flight ops guy in the flight facility all the time, maybe you hang out with the S3 and spend your time in the field. Maybe you get pulled as a gunner for deployment.

Anyway, it’s a good enough job. There are times it’s stressful and hard, there are times it isn’t. Aviation is a small branch and promotion can be harder, but again it depends. If you’re active duty, you have fewer duty stations to put on your wish list. I think you have Campbell, Drum, Korea, Hunter AAF, Rucker, Irwin, Wainwright, and maybe more? You should consider the Aviation branch, even if it isn’t a poppa. Check out Quebecks, Tangos, and Uniforms if flight ops doesn’t float your boat.
