There are several requirements, I'm sure your local Air Force Recruiter can tell you more. Here are a few:
1. Be healthy! You also can't be too tall (over 6'4") or too short (under 5"6")
2. You need to be a college graduate with a technical degree. They prefer engineering, or a science degree. Something that shows you're analytical.
3. You need to pick the right time to join. You could be totally qualified, but there may be no openings.
4. You need to have a clean, spotless, criminal record. Any slight blemish will disqualify you, even a juvenile record.
5. You need to pass a battery of tests. These test measure your intellect and your ability to analyze and solve various concrete and spatial questions.
6. And, you need to be able to pass both officer training school and pilot training school.
7. And you need to be at least 21 years of age. And perfect health means no glasses or contact lenses. (and no flat feet.)
Our pilots are the most qualified people in the world. You have to remember, we give these dudes multi-million dollar aircraft to fly. They don't want dummys in the cockpit.
I hope this helps.

You need to be able to cope with negative G forces and still control the aircraft. So health is very important.
