Just a couple of points regarding applying to the service academies. Because the summer camps are pay-to-play and can’t be attended by every applicant, they cannot be considered in the admissions process which, by law, must be equally available to all. They do provide an opportunity to play cadet/midshipman for a week, check out the posts, get questions answered, and take a fitness test (optional), but they have zero bearing on admittance (and bear zero resemblance to the life of an actual cadet/midshipman, they are simply marketing outreaches).
For the same reason the camps provide no admissions boost, relationships with congresspeople are immaterial as well. Candidates interview with nomination panels that do not include the congresspersons. The panels make their recommendations and the congressional office or congressperson sign off on those recommendations, mostly as a formality though some do like to make the award calls personally (if they even call, most often nomination awards are simply by letter).
This is like encouraging a student to apply to all eight ivies. Though all the academies are degree-conferring institutions, the post-commissioning service roles and committments vary greatly. Someone who does not want to spend any time at sea, for instance, should not apply to Navy, Merchant Marine, or Coast Guard as almost every role requires time in the fleet/water.
It sounds like the OP might enjoy serving as an Air Force officer but, as someone noted above, they may or may not get selected for flight training after graduation, it’s not a given, so the applicant must first want to serve as an officer regardless of what that service looks like. Also note that there is no flight training during the cadet years, flying comes later and only if selected. During our son’s years at West Point, USAFA came looking for pilot candidates among the Army Firsties because it couldn’t fill certain pilot slots from its own class. I thought this extremely odd, but it was explained that occasionally the Air Force has needs that exceed the number qualified for certain roles in a particular class so it will attempt to cross-commission from other academies.
If the OP wants to serve as an officer in one of our armed forces, they should definitely pursue academy and ROTC options but only for the branch(es) where they feel they would fit and serve best. I would also refer to the OP to serviceacademyforums.com, the CC equivalent for service academy and ROTC applicants for help with the long and intricate nomination and application process.
As for chances to a service academy, see any of my well-worn posts on this subject, such as this one.
