There is plenty of time in a classroom for military guys too. Over two years in military flight training, one probably logs 130 hours, but spends ten times that in the classroom.

Going the military route doesn't give anyone special status as a "Sky God". It does however afford you the opportunity to begin learning, much sooner. Much like the allowance to upgrade at 2000 TT with 1500 ME, it's a recognition of experience.

Don't rush upgrading, take the opportunity to learn where you're at. Especially with a R-ATP, that opportunity has been made available much sooner to you, than to your equivalent hour peers.
