I don't really have a good overall view like some of you do on the subject... but...I've flown with a handful of former Navy tailhook guys.. and I've been very, very impressed with the level of proficiency in stick and rudder, instrument skills and overall precision (aerobatics and form). I can't tell you how much I've learned from these guys. One thing that really stuck out to me, was that they all had a real desire to learn the systems and characteristics of new aircraft to them.... and they all wanted to be proficient in whatever it was that they were flying, no matter what they've flown in the past. Another thing is that they have a very complete brief/debrief of what they will do/have done in the air pertaining to formation and training stuff. I can't say that I know what exactly happens in military flight training... only that I've been very impressed with the product of their training and overall thought process and approach to flying.
