Please do not do this. It's a waste of time.
Your military flight records and a cover sheet with an explanation of how you calculated and adjusted your times is more than adequate.
If you "civilianize" your military times with taxi time and re-interpret your PIC time, there is no guarantee that your log book will provide exactly what airline X needs on their application. They may have a different taxi adjustment or not want it at all. You'll still have to make adjustments and explain your times with each airline. A log book isn't going to remove the requirement to bring your mil flight records to the interview. Now you'll just have something else to muddy the waters further.
If guys were getting turned away with their mil records and a cover sheet, then this advice might make sense. But, they're not.
