Talk to an Officer Recruiter in the USAF or Navy.
Tell them that you only want to apply for a pilot slot (I did that). They WILL try to get you to accept anything, but stick to your guns.
If you get a flying slot, you will have to prove yourself in flight training - anyone can be a fighter pilot, but not everyone can do it quickly enough for the military.
You may also find that you want to do something different once you're in. There's nothing wrong with that either.
