pilot/observer

I have wanted to be a pilot all my life. I applied to the RAF, passed all the tests and was then told at 6ft 4" I was too tall for pilot and got offered ABM(Aerospace battle manager). I still wanted to fly so applied to the navy who have higher height restrictions. I have just passed my AIB but have been offered observer not pilot. I have 2 questions: Is there a chance of me being able to train as a pilot further down the line if I accept observer and what is the role of observer like, will I get hands on flying experience.
Thanks
