    No [N] Re: becoming a fighter pilot

    To all the kids on here who say they want to be fighter pilots. First of all, becoming a fighter pilot requires more than just having a desire to fly fighter jets, it requires you to have great desire and modivation if it is truly your dream! Don't get too ahead of yourself, the road to becoming a fighter pilot is a long, extensive one. If you are still in High School, than there is nothing that you can do at this point except try to get good grades and maybe join JROTC, if your school offers it. Untill you are out of High School and into college and taking ROTC or are in the Accademy, are you really able to start working towards being a fighter pilot. It is very competative to get a pilot slot, so you have to earn it. There is nothing wrong with dreaming to be a fighter pilot at a young age, but you really should not get too ahead of yourself untill the time comes.
