Leadmaster, I cannot remember not wanting to be a fighter pilot. I told my Mom I wanted to be a Mechanical Engineer before I started kindergarden because somehow I found out that's the best degree for pilots. (She had to go look up what an ME was lol) Along the way I did all the top math, I found out the .mil likes Eagle Scouts so I did that, I ran cross country, I wrestled, I played video games for eye hand coordination...
I unfortunately am not physically perfect.
If you're ready to compete with people who want it as bad as I did, go for it. Otherwise, unless you're a physical and intellectual freak, you're going to have a hard time competing with people like me who are willing to suffer any pain or sacrifice to get there.
