Well, the biggest difference is that you would be flying off of aircraft carriers vs. runways.  Your missions would generally be shorter because carriers are often closer to the target.

You should be looking into Navy ROTC in college, or applying to Annapolis next year.  I hope your grades and extracurriculars are good, because you will need that to get into Annapolis or NROTC scholarships.  If not, you can join NROTC without a scholarship.

Please don't brag about gaming accomplishments.  People will not take you seriously.  Ace combat is a horrible simulator.  Real combat is usually a couple hours of flying a predetermined route, then a few minutes of a pre-planned bombing run, followed by more hours of flying back.
