Moose, here is my question and response from Oh Ryan at flightinfo.

Anyone have any insight on this?
Oh Ryan's answer:
Absolutely! Log all nine hours as PIC time... even if you in the rack. You are the head cheese and are making decisions that affect the safety of flight even if you are not wiggling the stick.
I did it and it wasn't a problem during my interview. I kept my military logbook as well as a excel spreadsheet that tracked all of my time. The total time in my military logbook is less than my civilian spreadsheet because my military book doesn't account for time that I logged as PIC when there were three bubba's aboard (i.e. the three hours I was not in the seat). I was asked about it during the interview and explained it just as I have here and it wasn't an issue. Good luck.
