No I had a few fellow 130 engineers get their FAA turboprop cert a few years ago but it wasn't easy to organize. There is only one DFE left that does turboprop and they had to pay for him to fly to them, also took quite a bit of work to get the Air Force on board with conducting an FAA evaluation on a C-130, especially since it required a cruise engine shutdown. I don't think its even possible for me now that I'm on C-5's so it's probably not going to happen. I did however get authorization from the FAA to take my A&P exams based on my prior MX experience but its not a high priority for me at the moment as I am working to finish up my commercial ratings this Summer and CFI this fall.
