First question you should ask yourself is "can I pass a military flight physical?" If no, it slims down your options considerably. When I started down that road I found out that my eyesight was no longer 20/20 and I had to make do with a nav slot. Go to an Active Duty recruiter and ask about Officer Training School options, you might be able to enter OTS with a pilot slot in hand if you can pass the physical. I have a good friend who did just this in the 90s, but I'm not at all sure that can still be done. Obviously, the AD pilot route commits you to a solid decade of service but it would get you on the desired path quickly. Get some civilian flight time in the meantime so you lessen the risk of washing out of pilot training.
