Unlike the TV show JAG or various other movies and TV shows. You can only have one rate at a time. You can't be a pilot at the same time as a navy seal. If you must in your life do both what you could do (depending on your age) is be enlisted navy and become a Navy seal. Then after your enlistment is finished go to Marine OCS(officer candidate school.) in their aviation program. Though you will more likely fly a harrier, than the other jet you listed.
Two important things:
One, if you enlist in the navy, you don't enlist as a SEAL. You choose a rate that is eligible for B.U.D.S. training. If you do not make it through training you are still stuck enlisted in the navy.
Two, in order to be a pilot you have to be an officer and you need a college degree. Bachelors.(4 year) Fortunately, If you go with the Marine OCS option. You can go to OCS with still in college, if you are a junior or senior in college. (i believe the program was called PLC platoon leader class)
Lastly the reason I said Marine OCS versus Navy OCS is that Marine OCS has a Guaranteed Flight program and the navy OCS program you would most likely be commissioned as a surface warfare officer. (aka sitting on a boat.)

The Super-boy slot is still open too, if you hurry and get your application in you might stand a chance of getting the job.
Runner ups get a Captain Stinky decoder ring as a consolation prize :-P

You would probably do better going to hollywood with Carlie Sheen, rather than joining the military.

No, it has to be one or the other. Psst, movies are not for real.
