I want to be a French fighter pilot. Any advice? Hello everyone!

I want to be a French fighter pilot and I would like some advice from retired fighter pilots about how you should do things if you were at the same age as you were when you entered the army but having all the knowledge you have now.

Thanks for reading. If you see anything that can be improve (even the question), let me know! It's the same for questions or/and remarks, let me know!
The third point in your original list is a clear red flag:


  I'm a huge fan of airplane (but I'm not the type of guy loving learning every thing by heart)


I don't mean to put you off with what follows, but honestly, you've got to love learning everything by heart in the military in general, let alone the airforce.

Becoming a professional pilot is demanding, becoming a military pilot even more so. Both require high intellect, the ability to learn and memorize things easily and preferrably, especially in military aviation, a burning desire to do so.

On top of that, to make it as a military aviator, not only do you have to be enthusiastic about aviation in general, but you have to have just the right mindset: utmost dedication for the military way of life, deep patriotism, and absolute altruism. Any succesful military person is first and foremost a soldier, only in addition to that can one be something more.

The guys and gals at military aviation operate on a whole different level from an average pilot. You simply are not going to make it if you are not all in. About aviation and more importantly about military.
