TPW
I don't want to pour cold water on your ambition rather to offer a touch of reality as I see these things.
Being a tp of any sort means you have reached fairly well up the aviation totem pole.
As with any totem pole (running 100m better than most, being successful as a racing driver in F1 or NASCAR, or indeed any human endeavour you like to consider) you have to have a great deal of determination (bordering on obsession) to succeed - as well as the appropriate talents.
In my book this means you put your ambition in front of everything else in your life. You fully accept (and tell all concerned) that you will do anything asked of you to enhance your chances of success. In this case that would include showing everybody that you are an above average military pilot.
Sorry.
