    Becoming a Fighter Pilot

       Since I was little I have always wanted to be a fighter pilot.  Just the thought of being in a plane flying at mach 2 is enough to give me goosebumps.  I probably want this more than anything else in my life.  
       However, I run into several problems.  I am already 21 years old.  I'm a junior in college getting a finance degree, which I hate, but you have to have a degree in this world to survive.  I currently have a 2.33 gpa, but am slowly trying to bring it up.  First two semesters of college killed me due to personal problems.  I am getting ready to join the AFROTC program and work way up that way.  I have 2 minor sexual battery charges from back when I was 13 years old.  I am also working on losing about 20 pounds to meet the weight requirement to go active duty.  In high school I weighed right at 190.  I was going to go in then, but didn't.
       Anyone have any advice because I need some.
