With all the purges, specifically the purge of the educators, "Licenses of 21,000 teachers revoked, 1,577 deans ordered to resign", it's pretty clear that the Islamist in Turkey are going to follow the same model as Saudi Arabia, their staunch ally in the war against Syria.
Expect things to seriously heat up, especially when we do the math and realize that Saudi Arabia has bought hundreds of billions of dollars of weapons in the last few years and that Islamist Turks just got their hands on a shit load of Nukes.
A lot has happened so it's very hard to list them all but some of them would be: Turkey making good with Israel, apologizing to Russia, taking a few billion dollars from EU, about to give Syrian refugees visas, somehow was able to get no visa travel deal for Turkish citizens to the EU (WHAT!), and is acting all tough and demanding shit from the US, and a lot more.
Interesting times. Hold on to your fucking hats.

Would Turkey really risk making a move to grab those nukes from the base? I imagine the US isn't just going to let them waltz in and take those bombs willy-nilly and that would render Turkey a virtual pariah with the West.

Erdogan while democratically elected a long time back has de-evolved into an Islamist cave dwelling warmonger, he panders to the religious mob and has become one incredible stupid, paranoid, islamist fool.
