Did you go through a formal course of military aviation training resulting in designation as a military aviator?
My understanding of the program.
A designated military pilot who completes a course of training in an airplane with a civilian type rating can take that designation to the FSDO and be granted the type rating on his/her FAA certificate.
KC-10 pilot with a DC-10 type rating.
C-130 pilot with a L-382 type rating.
C-5 pilot who gets an assignment flying C-12s and does internal C-12 training can go to the FSDO and get the appropriate King Air type rating. Of course many of the guys I know getting this type of training are going through SimuFlite and getting the type added to their certificates.
