CFI add-on after Mil Comp MEI
Has anyone done the single engine CFI add-on after doing the mil comp MEI process? I did my test prep with Sheppard Air's software and read their suggestions but was looking for someone who has actually done it. Thanks.

I'm in the process right now. I had my PPL when I went to UPT, so I never bothered upgrading it to Commercial. Now I'm in the process of getting ready for a ATP-SEL check ride, then try to know out the CFI-SEL add-on. We'll see how it goes.

CAFB, you must be an instructor in a Mil SEL aircraft to get the mil comp CFI(ie T-6, F-16, PC12). I am a C130 IP so I got the MEI and CFII but don't have the CFI yet. I do have a SEL ATP from my time flying C208s but didn't make IP before I PCS'd.

My story...PPL prior to UPT. T-37/T-1/C-5/C-17.
Mil comp at/after UPT at CAFB gave me Multi Commercial.
Later mil comp'ed MEL CFI/II add on.
Later received training to get SEL commercial and SEL CFI in that order. No testing. Training and 2 checkrides - one for each add on.
Every pilot (non mil) I have explained that to looked at me like I was crazy - since most was done completely out of standard order. Good luck. Sheppard Air is the best resource out there.

I thought the mil comp process granted SEL CFI. No?
Also, what kind of SEL ATP jobs are out there?

Interesting. Thanks for the knowledge.
So if I was a KC-135 IP then a Cessna 208 IP then the Mil Comp written test would give me both CFI and MEI as well as CFII?
Unintended benefit of 365 days flying the Caravan in Afghan-land I guess.
