Also; not to be a naysayer, but even when you get to the academy, so many things can change.
1. Get there; all is good; but you have a change of heart and decide you don't want a 10 year commitment, so you decide NOT to even fly. Happens ALL the time. Make sure you're wanting the academy and the air force for the right reason. Flying can be "A" reason, don't let it be you #1 reason. Apply for the academy and air force for the right reasons.
2. Sometimes, the needs of the air force changes. And ALL jobs and assignments are based on that. For instance, there have been times in the past; albeit rare; that they didn't give out ANY PILOT SLOTS out of the academy at all. As mentioned in #1, be ok with getting a non-flying job in the air force if that's what you're presented with.
3. Some individuals have passed the medical to get into the academy and air force; but a couple years down the road at the academy, they wind up NOT PASSING the physical required to be a pilot. I know a few in THIS CLASS TODAY, who wanted a pilot slot since day-1. But there are not qualified, and they are getting jobs in engineering, intel, and others. Again; per #1 above; be willing and ready to accept a non-pilot slot.
4. And then, as fencermother pointed out, you may be fortunately enough to get a pilot slot. But that doesn't mean you'll wind up in fighters. And while at one time, fighters were almost always ENJJPT slots; it's not that way as much any more. You can get fighter slots if you go to Mississippi, texas, or any place for UPT training. But again, that doesn't mean you'll get fighters. And most of the ENJJPT slots aren't just doing well at the academy. My son received a pilot slot out of the academy. He graduated #7 in the entire 2012 class. Yet, his pilot slot was at Columbus Mississippi. But again; fighter slots are no longer just out of ENJJPT. But either way; back to #1; be ready and ok to NOT be a fighter pilot.
And as Fencermother mentioned; looking at UPT training is step # 4,619. Get INTO the academy first. Make it through Basic Training. Make sure the academy and military is what you really want. (No, you don't know that answer yet; no matter how much you think so). Do well academically and graduate. And the other 4,600+ steps in between. THEN, worry about getting a pilot slot and fighters.
