If you look at your AFORMS printout (you should have done a records review as part of your gratuation tasks) from your flight records you will note that all UPT time is lumped together as "Student." That time will never change your entire career. Now that you're rated, all your time will go in as Primary, Secondary, Instructor, Evaluator, or other. BTW, the jump seat time in the T-1 went in the Student block. As far as AFORMS is concerned it was not real Other time.

If you're keeping a military style logbook (like the ones AAFES sells) then it has blocks for Primary, Secondary, etc. If you're keeping a FAA logbook, that can be a little tricky. If you have an ATP, then all time on the controls can be logged as PIC. Since you're most likely splitting hours, just keep it simple and mark Secondary time as SIC and the rest as PIC. Also, Other time does not exist to the FAA so there isn't much point in keeping track of it unless you want to make sure all the math works out. When I got out of USAF, I just took my AFORMS summary page to my job interview along with my most recent logbook.

If you're worried about post military employment, don't be. Depending on your future employer, each company may have specific instructions as to how to convert your military time.

To close up this long story, you are now rated and should not be logging any student time. If you want to keep track of training you should log Dual Received along with the appropriate PIC or SIC.
