To comment on the idea that 150-200 hr millitary pilots are the same as civillian pilots is crazy- the US Governments instructors are the TOP Pilots out there- thats why they have been assigned to this duty-on the other hand the majority of CFI/CFII out there in the civillian world are people who just finished training themselves, and our just looking for a way to build time-The Breakdown of this whole system is not the 250 hr pilots it is the instructors who are out there with no experience themselves teaching other People- No one should be an instructor with the sole purpose being to buid time.
