Otherwise - big difference in what specific companies allow for their own applications and what the FARs allow to be counted for time towards ratings/certificates.
tnkrdrvr has it right.
No, the big difference is in how military logs flight time (takeoff to landing) vs how civilians log it (Hobbs or wheel start to wheel stop). I have had many military sorties where I spent an hour or more on the ground that didn't get logged. Doing a reasonable and conservative conversion of .2 or .3 per is fine as long as you are reasonable and consistent.
Show me in the FARs where how to log flight time military vs civil is defined. Hint...it doesn't exist. That is most definitely on purpose.
