3 airline interviews - hired at each one.

I put a cover page in that explained whatever mil conversion factor I used, adjustments for that airline's PIC rules and how I came up with my PIC total and whatever other flight time category they ask for.
There's nothing wrong with putting your mil time in a logbook but it's not a very good use of time. Airlines define PIC differently and allow different conversions for mil time. So, unless you create a logbook specific to each airline you apply to, you're going to have to tweak the times and justify them to each airline anyway.
Great advice. I agree.
Hired at 2 Major Airlines. Make a nice binder. Put 8 - 12 tabs in there, with an index page in front. Suck up a bit, and put a picture of the airline's airplane on the front of your binder (You are trying to get hired).
Include in this binder copies of your FAA Certs, Medical, Passport. Any rec letters, college transcripts, awards, etc.
Also include an easy to understand explanation of your time: how much multi sic. How much multi pic. How much instrument. How much night. Etc. Don't make the interviewer have to dig for that stuff. Make it easy for him. He shouldn't need to crack open your USAF record at all. I also had everything, including mil, in Jeppesen Professional Logbooks, five of them, but those aren't necessary if you have no civilian time.
Good luck!
