Are you keeping him as an Officer? Because every pilot in the Air Force is an Officer, and once you're any kind of Commissioned Officer they don't let you re-enlist as an enlisted soldier in any branch of service.
I'm not sure what you mean by taking SEAL training in his "spare time"? BUD/S is intense... there's no "part time" SEAL training.
If he didn't have the nerve to get back up in a Jet to fly again because he was afraid of getting shot down again, he wouldn't have the stuff to make it as a Ranger. I've never met a pilot who I thought was as mentally tough as a Ranger. Smarter? Sure. Pilots are often very intelligent. But tougher? Mentally tougher? Pilots are very focused, but Rangers define Tough.
It's not lose of nerve, that probably didn't read well. Meant it that once he was shot down, he didn't think he had the necessary skills to be an effective combat soldier on the ground (ever see Behind Enemy Lines with Owen Wilson? He plays a pilot shot down, but acts more like a ground pounder once he's down). I'm trying to portray BR as a guy that has to be the best at everything he does.
So he was shot down and barely made it back. He didn't think he was trained well enough to fight effectively on the ground. Once down, he had to escape, couldn't do any ground fighting.
So he decided to do the family thing and become join the Army. I'd even say he gave up his pilot commission, and re-earned his rank thru the Army the hard way.
