We'll probably digress. I believe that real world flying is the best experience you can get, but i still don't think of it as training, unless it's being done in a training environment, that is, in some respects a mentor/student relationship. I can get that with a check airman/ new hire. When said military guy is over some other country, weapons hot, i wouldn't consider that training, same would go for a line captain flying with a line FO, with paying passengers in the back, who are going to a graduation, christmas dinner, job interview, or to see someone special. It's not that you shouldn't be learning, adapting, and becoming a better aviator, I just believe it falls outside of the realm of actual TRAINING.
