R.A.F

hey im 15 so this is gonna sound stupid but here goes,
i would love to join the raf as a pilot, i should get all my gcses (except welsh)
and probly end up with 3 a levels. my questions are:
Anyone know if theres a height restriction?
Is anyone here in the raf and whats it like being tied down to it for 12 years?
What do you actually do day to day, i mean, say theres no war on or use for the raf, do u just sit around in a airbase or what?
thanks in advance
EDIT: Oh one last thing, basically i would want to fly a eurofighter, so how are you 'chosen' to fly certain vehicles, do they ask what you would perfer or is it a skill thing? such as, good= lesser jet, elite=eurofighter

you don't have to fly in the small fighter jets, what about the transport planes?

well, i wouldnt say no to it but for me the attraction is flying a eurofighter, awesome jet.
