Deviated nasal septum needs to be corrected by a surgery known as septoplasty. Since you have asymptomatic deviated nasal septum and you want correction only for the purpose of air force selection, you should find a good experienced ENT specialist in your place so that he can give straight septum after surgery
Next Steps
Surgery is usually done under general or local anesthesia and recovery usually takes about a week
