There are other routes to military flying besides the service academies. Even so, getting a military pilot slot is certainly not guaranteed for anyone, even stellar candidates. And in the future, more and more "pilot slots" will likely be filled by UAV pilots. There are lots of threads with good info for aspiring military pilots..... do a little searching, you'll get a lot of opinions and info.
