However - call the local FSDO or check a website that is focused towards that type of question....maybe AOPA?

It would probably be easier and faster to get the mil-comp commercial certificate. 2 days of studying, easy written test with proof of mil training will get them commercial privileges.

Once he gets the mil comp, then he's just like any other commercial pilot.
But he doesn't need any civilian training to get his mil comp, that's just a paperwork drill.

I don't see why someone wouldn't do the mil comp, but if he wants fly before his mil ID should be proof of citizenship since you can't be an officer and not be a citizen. That's assuming he is an officer.

Stick with the TSA-approved documents for this purpose. A military ID is not approved IIRC, because you can be a military member without citizenship (yes we all know you must be a citizen to be a commissioned officer, but TSA doesn't allow CFI's to extrapolate citizenship from military rank).

I think the reasoning was E-4, depending upon the military branch, is the lowest pay-grade at which one can be a NCO.
