Air force officer question?

Question

after the air force academy, is it possible to become a cargo pilot, i don't know the technical name for it, but i am curious because I would not want to be a fighter pilot. I know somebody has to hall the cargo to different bases. So, could that happen?

Answer 1

When you go to pilot training, you apply for certain positions, not everybody goes to pilot training to be a fighter pilot.  My grandfather flew huge C130s with bunches of cargo for more than 20 years.

Answer 2

if you don't want to become a fighter pilot, you won't be forced to be one.  someone that wants to be a fighter pilot can end up flying cargo, but they only take willing people to fly fighters and bombers.  

Answer 3

Here's an article on becoming a pilot.
