This one was difficult for me to deal with.
On the one hand, the military simply doesn't list PIC vs. SIC, and many airplanes we fly are 2-place but only require 1 pilot. There really is no way to 100% accurately assess how much of "primary" time is PIC and how much is student or SIC, and even then the SWA app didn't have a place for "dual received".
I know some people will call all their primary PIC and they will probably get away with it, I've been told this interview is easy in regards to the log book section for a guy who shows up with his AFORMS printout. I decided since I had so much T-37/T-38 time to use the .3 modifier they give us, and then I just trashed 50% of all my primary time in both the T-37 and T-38 to account for PIT and dual CT, and I ditched 10% of my F-16D time to account for the B-course and TX-course. I completely ignored my 200ish UPT hours with the exception of solo time which was around 22 hours. In the end, with the military conversion I ended up with about an extra 3% hours over what I've got on my airlineapps account application with no modifier but all my dual received accounted for. While I hated throwing away 600ish hours, I don't really think it will make a difference one way or another. My lack of a type rating is what really matters, not having low 3s vs high 3s on my hours summary. At least this way if I happen to get the lucky nontype interview, I'll be able to easily defend what I reported.
