Tell me about military pilot life

[oilcanbland]

I'm not sure if I'd ever join the military, but I am very curious about what life is like for the military pilot. Assuming I wanted to join the Air National Guard, and get military pilot training, what route do do you take to become a pilot flying jets, such as F-16s. There is an F-16 ANG base in my hometown, so I'm very curious.

How can you qualify to become a pilot after you join?
Can anyone become a pilot?
Can you choose what aircraft you want to fly?
If not, what determines who flies what?
How often do you fly?
What aircraft do you train in?
How long does it take to jump into an F-16 or F-14, or whatever aircraft you'll fly?

Thanks.
