Sounds like you're set on going USAF, but if you are truly interested in military flying, you should not rule out the USN/USMC. I can't speak for the USAF ROTC but as for the Navy a good way to explore your options is to go to a univ with an ROTC unit, affiliate with the unit on a non-scholarship basis for your 1st year and see what you think. At least in my day, you could "play Navy" for a year as a freshman ROTC puke and opt out if you did not like it after that 1st year. Day 1 of our sophomore year we all had sign on the dotted line, but freshman year was a freebie - no strings attached. Not sure if that's still the case. As for schools in the Pac NW, U of W, U of Idaho and Oregon State U all have NROTC units. There may be others, but those I'm sure about.

I'm from WA, went to Oregon State, and am finishing up with 20 years of flying A-6's and EA-6B's out of Whidbey Island. Not exactly "fighters" but tactical carrier-based jets none the less. Also, the 1st EA-18G is now at Whidbey. Still has the new car smell and is much more fighter-ish than anything else the Navy has in the NW.
