I am absolutely convinced that at some point in the series, Jake mentions that he either planned to be a Navy pilot (if the Yeerks hadn't happened) or that it was something he daydreamed about as a younger kid. Or was interested in it. Or something. I can't for the life of me remember what book this was in or what he said about it.

Does anyone else remember this, or am I just adding my own imagination into the canon?

It suits him, even if it is just persistent fanon! Though I can't see him as a fighter pilot, not from the stories my (ex-Air Force) dad tells about the guys he knew who were... there's a certain temperament apparently common to the guys who go in for that, and it's kind of... Not Jake At All. More like Marco.

(As ever~)

Oh, don't worry. He'll tell you."

I've met a few who aren't like that, though. Like any job, you get a whole range of temperaments.
