Cast a wide net. If finances allow, look into some flight instruction now.

If I were going in today, you’d have a hard time convincing me the USCG isn’t the best place to be flying anything.

Prior flight time helps, but be ready to adjust your thinking to the "Navy way" from civilian procedures.

World is full of people that will sour our dreams. They generally mean well and you can divine some lessons in it all.
Life is full of challenges.
Go out and become a Naval Aviator, hopefully you will become a fighter pilot. You can go in the Guard or Coast Guard afterwards.
DOD in general is a roulette wheel, only thing common, all services serve the organization first. No surprise.
If you want it, be to stupid to quit. Worked for most of us on this forum with an aviation disease. Alternate planning a must.
Certainly don't base a final decision on the possibilities of what may not go your way, but on the opportunities and dreams if they do come true.
Worked for me. Worked for many.
Best of fortune to you
