Default too skinny?

hello all,

i am currently a freshmen in college and enroled in air force rotc. i am hoping to get a pilot slot and eventually become an air force aviator! But, i am a pretty lanky guy... 6'4'' 170 pounds on a heavy day; im sort of the runner type. (i get just under 100 on pft so thats not what im worried about), but ive seen videos on youtube and what not showing people passing out from like 7 g's in a centrifuge even when theyre short and stocky and that gets me a bit worried. so, for my future aircraft options, i am basically ruling out any sort of fighter because i just dont think id be able to take 9 g's. and i was wondering about anybodies opinion regarding me being skinny and my aircraft options: a10, bombers, helos, heavies? bombers appeal to me most, but i dont know if id have to endure the same amount of g's for a bomber as a fighter because fighter and bomber are in the same track. any info/ advice/ or opinions would be greatly appreciated. thanks
