av8instyle...although you are an AU grad I'll be glad to offer some advice. 
I have flown with some fast-slow mover guys - they seemed to like the fact that the community is more laid back - of course, if you go AFSOC C130s (if you want to PM me first - I flew AFSOC for years) that won't walways be the case. As far as transition to the 130 - depends on which one you fly and what unit. The J model is probably a SHORTER course then the old Es and Hs. Also if you get into a spec unit with Js like the ECs out of PA - then there is no real "TAC" training.
Our unit is going thru Tac training as we speak so I am only Assault qualed. meaning - hardly any requirements.
Been activated yet? If you go to a C130 unit that has not been - you will be soon.
Lots of things to think about - worst case - tng on an E or H 3-4 months at Little Rock unless you can work anin unit upgrade. J model - maybe 2-3 unless you can work in unit upgrade. Oh - H2s train in ATL at Dobbins...if that helps.
