They have a jet pipeline? Likely its a fixed wing or rotary wing pipeline. Fighter slots are givien to the top guys in pilot training, so you gotta studdy your a** off. Just my  , find some Navy fighter pilots, and talk to them about the lifestyle. Everyone thinks the fighter pilot route is badass and exciting, but fighter pilots plan for about 3 hrs for every 1 hour flown, so you can do the math. I recommend keeping your options open. Fixed wing could be a P-3, EA-6B, S-3, etc... all of which would blow IMO... Make sure you do your research...
