I know this is incredibly late but I happened across this post while doing some research for a female fighter pilot forum I am attending and wanted to share my personal experience with you just in case you are still considering trying to become a fighter pilot (I flew F-16s). I graduated from USAFA and went into pilot training with no intention of becoming a fighter pilot, I did not think it was the type of flying that I would be interested in doing. My husband, who graduated a year ahead of me, had already gone the T-38 route and asked me to reserve any judgement on what I wanted to fly until I flew formation. For me, that was all it took. I loved everything about formation flying - getting to be alone in my cockpit but still with the support of wingmen. One poster said the centrifuge might be more difficult for women, in my experience that has not been the case but the fuge is different for every person. I have been twice (7.5G profile for T-38s and 9G for F-16s) and I did not see a gender issue when it came to who struggled and who didn't - it was just body type. (those poor 6'5" skinny people had a rough time).
As with anything in the military there are going to be sacrifices. You will deploy, you will be gone on TDYs, you will be away from family - but that is true with any career field. I am not saying that I did anything "correctly" by any means but my husband, who is a fighter pilot as well, and I sat down at the beginning of our careers and said that we would put our aspirations to be pilots first and then later something would have to give in order for us to pursue having a family. We have both fought in combat, we have both had the opportunity to lead both in and out of the cockpit and honestly, I would not trade those experiences for anything in the world. But to do those things, we were stationed apart for 6.5 years and had to put a lot of effort into the care of our marriage.
The time did come when I decided to scale back and put family into the forefront, I requested an assignment flying adversary air so that I could be stationed with my husband. It is a more flexible job in terms of TDY and deployment requirements and allowed us to start a family. It is true that the second you find out you are pregnant in an ejection seat aircraft, you cannot fly anymore. Between the pregnancy and maternity leave, you are out of the cockpit for a year, but you can still help the squadron fulfilling duties that a pilot has to do but does not require flying. Supervisor of flying - supervising flying for the wing from the tower and Top 3, supervising flying of your squadron and coordinating with maintenance/pilots are the main ones. I have not felt left out of the squadron or in any way stifled because I decided to have kids. Most of the dudes in the squadron are pretty happy that they don't have to sit top 3 or SOF and they know how long we waited to have kids and have been nothing but supportive.
I also have a very strong family system where I can call our parents on either side and have someone take care of our kiddo if we both have TDYs or other commitments where we need help.
Sorry that this is such a long post, if you are still interested in flying I would be more than happy to talk with you one on one and please pass on to anyone at the zoo that I am more than willing to chat with anyone interested.
