Prior to the Vietnam War, pilots didn't need a college education to become a pilot; there were Enlisted Men pilots during WW2. After WW2, "All pilots had to be officers." And, with the exception of the US Army, all officers had to have a college education. The Army required it in about 1982. Therefore, number 1 is obtaining a college degree. Number 2, is learning to fly private aircraft...not a requirement, but it might give a candidate a "head start." It might also give him a taste of what the job might be like, and cause the individual to either continue his quest or change his career goal(s) to something else. Number 3, be in good health, and "normally" height must be in proper proportion to his weight. For eyesight, based upon the needs of the service (correctible to 20/20; laser surgery, etc.) Number 4, flight school is academically pretty difficult; LOT'S OF MATH. Today's aircraft are "fly by wire" (computer driven), so sensibility with the "touch" is necessary. This contrasts with the "brute strength" sometimes required when flying the old Vietnam War jets with their "hydraulic" gears (and NO computers to take over when the pilot blacked out), coupled with the anti-G suits at the time.

First become a regular fighter pilot, make sure to qualify for a lot of different planes. Then start worrying about finding someone who can hire a mercenary. Be aware that you will probably be fired from your regular piloting job, maybe even arrested the moment someone discovers what you're up to.
