I ran into a AD buddy in Iraq that I went to IFF with 6 yrs ago. He was LUCKY enough to go Ops x 3 in the F-16. I was on my third Iraq tour, he was on his first. I had 980 flight hours, he had 920. BTW, I've been a part-timer for the past 3 years. He can't wait to leave AD.

You'll get your G tolerance from pilot training, at least I did. The body just gets used to it. PT is one of many factors, everyone's tolerance is different. Plus, AF PT is a joke. Most of us aren't pulling monster G's all the time, either. With all the CAS missions currently, we will pull a whopping 1.5 G's for the entire sortie.
