I've asked this question many times on Yahoo answers but it never occurred to me to post on a forum.
Obviously, the job of Fighter Pilot is elite and very selective; I am aware of that. However, I think being aged 14 I am old enough but still have enough time to gain a head start.
I am joining a rugby club soon, am going to join Air Cadets this year and I might do Scouts or something depending on how much time I have.
Also, in September I will find out my GCSE predicted grades which will most likely be B's at least but mainly As and A*'s.
Is there anything I can do to prepare?
The only problem is my eyes aren't perfect. They are not 6/6 but they're better than 6/12 but I am having them retested in the next couple months.
Also, I was thinking of applying to Welbeck DSFC and then studying Engineering at Loughborough then joining the Army/Royal Navy as an engineer for a bit to gain experience in the military and gain in depth knowledge of aircraft.

All the pilots have good degrees and are very well educated. Try looking up what educational qualifications you need to be a pilot then aim for those.

Whatever you choose to do at college, make sure you do it well, then seriously consider going to university and getting a degree - and if you do that, choose a university with a university air squadron attached.
Other than that I would say make the most of being 14. Don't focus too much on the future, you'll be a grown-up for a very long time...

You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.
