Diesel,

In recommend that you keep your civilian stuff separate from the mil. If you try to transfer your mil time to a logbook, you are opening up a door to headaches when it comes time to interview with the airlines. You can count on errors in the transfer process at many times during you military flying career. The last thing you want to have to deal with is one, the pain of keeping it error free and two, having to explain during your interview why your times don't match up. You do not want that to be an issue. I think the easiest thing to do is keep tabs on what Uncle Sam is logging for you. He will make mistakes. Save your 781s so you can do a good records review to each year. Maintain a tight civilian log book and when the time comes to interview, just bring that one sheet military flight time printout. Most airlines expect that from the mil folks anyway. KISS method and path of least resistance. Just my 2 cents.
