As a 14 year old, what can I do to become a Fighter Pilot?

I've asked this question many times on Yahoo answers but it never occurred to me to post on a forum.
Obviously, the job of Fighter Pilot is elite and very selective; I am aware of that. However, I think being aged 14 I am old enough but still have enough time to gain a head start.
I am joining a rugby club soon, am going to join Air Cadets this year and I might do Scouts or something depending on how much time I have.
Also, in September I will find out my GCSE predicted grades which will most likely be B's at least but mainly As and A*'s.
Is there anything I can do to prepare?
The only problem is my eyes aren't perfect. They are not 6/6 but they're better than 6/12 but I am having them retested in the next couple months.
Also, I was thinking of applying to Welbeck DSFC and then studying Engineering at Loughborough then joining the Army/Royal Navy as an engineer for a bit to gain experience in the military and gain in depth knowledge of aircraft.
