First you do a lot of classroom work and ground training. Following this you will usually start lessons on a small trainer aircraft while doing more ground training on that aircraft and on flying procedures. Eventually you will 'solo' in this trainer. In most western air forces you have now been at it about 6 - 9 months. After your solo, navigation exercises in the trainer will commence. When you graduate from that , you usually get your wings. At this point it will be decided, based on your performance, whether you are going to fighters, multi-engine aircraft or helicopters. You will then go to the appropriate 'Operational Conversion Unit' to train on the particular aircraft you will fly. This may take a further 3-6 months. -Of course, all of this varies a bit from country to country.

What schooling is necessary the career Fighter Pilot?

You need first to get a college degree, and to attend military officer training. If you attend the US Naval Academy or the US Air Force Academy, you will get your officer training there. If you attend a civilian university, you take Air Force ROTC or Navy ROTC. (If you want to be a fighter pilot in the Marines, you go to Annapolis on the Marine track or to Navy ROTC at a civilian university.) Then you get selected for, and attend, basic flight school to learn to fly a plane. If you graduate, you will then have to go to another school to learn to fly the specific fighter you will fly once through training. Having said all that, you must also consider: if you are in flight school and the service has enough fighter pilots, they have no problem with sending you to learn to fly cargo planes, bombers or helicopters and you must be prepared to accept this.
