IIRC there was a "threshold" distance that activated the exemption (1000NM straight line distance maybe?).
I'll see what I can do.
It's in 61.1
Cross-country Time: Must land at another airport and use navigation. No distance requirement.
Additionally...
For Aeronuatical Experience for PPL, COMM, IRA: Must also include one landing at an airport greater than 50nm (straight line) from the original departure point.
For an ATP: 50 NM distance is required, but NO landing.
For Military Pilots (who already hold an FAA COMM): Same as ATP.
USMC...unless there's something in your military flight logs which would contradict a claim of >50NM, I would just use your judgement and go back and estimate which sorties qualified.
