Here's what I noticed on my app...on the computer screen there's no annotation of a mil-conversion. If you're called to an interview, they tell you to bring a printout of the app. You keep that in front of you during the panel interview for reference as they review your app. When you print the app, there's a new field (not displayed on the screen) that shows your totals, and it doesn't agree with anything you saw on the screen. I freaked out a little thinking I'd screwed up something and didn't want to look like a buffoon, but a little backward engineering and you'll find the system added 0.2 per mil sortie to your totals.

I don't know if this is turned off now, as parsonhngr mentions, but it's easy enough to print your app and see if the new field is there.

Good hunting!
