No guarantee. The Marines have a guaranteed aviation slot, but you can be flying anything from a Ch-47 to a F/A-18. All depends on how you do during UPT (or whatever they call it) and what the Marines need.

But USAF wise, your just gonna have to go into ROTC and work your *** off. Get selected for UPT and then score in the top 5 or so of your class and then you might get an Eagle or Raptor (Raptor depends on if they open it up to pilots right out of UPT).

Like SAJIN said, but you don't get to select an aircraft. You fill out a dreamsheet,(list your preferences in order) The top guy get his pick,the 2nd guy gets his pick if its still availabe, and so on. So the better you do in UPT, the more likely that you'll get what you want. But there are no guarantees, there might not be a specific airframe slot available when your class graduates so you have to suck it up and take something else.
