What if weren't the best dude at UPT and they only had one T-38 slot (T-38s track to fighters and bombers). As a result, you track helicopters or T-1s (T-1s track to tankers/airlift). Would you be miserable if you were assigned anything but fighters? Think about that as well.

If you think you can get the extremely competitive qualification required, you could always apply directly to a fighter ANG/AFRES squadron and try to get hired that way. You are guaranteed a fighter slot provided that you make it thorough training and as far as I know, if anything goes wrong, you don't owe anybody anything.
