First off, you do need to be physically fit to join any military branch of service. Their is physical you need to take at a meps before you are even eligible to join the military. Next for pilot in general you need to have 20/20 vision, also you need to have a 4 year degree. Last and biggest thing is the Asvab test. It is a test everyone in the service takes before joining. The test measures your intelligence level on several different factors. If you score high on the GT portion of that test you would be eligible to become a pilot. That wont guarantee you to fly a certain aircraft though

If you want to fly then you need to be a pilot, to be a pilot, you need to be an officer, to do that you need a degree first and then go through the steps to becoming an officer (which includes a few years of flight training before actually flying as a pilot)
...it'll take a while. I heard it takes 4 years at least. They also don't actually go to boot camp like enlisted military, they go through school.
As far as being fit, well, I work on the flight line doing maintenance on the F-15 jets and none of the pilots are fat.
good luck to you...

Pilots also need 20/20 or better vision last I checked. Also, if your motivation for joining is purely killing people, perhaps the Air Force is not for you.
