You can get a competitive flying slot by joining OCS, not just undergrad ROTC with UPT or joining one of the military academies. So basically, it's filled by people with the tenacity and effort to research it and apply/talk to the right people and show up at the door well prepared with a relevant college degree, good eyesight, and physically fit.

My friend didn't make the flying slot cut (yet?) but got his second pick of surface warfare.
