If not, if they fly a SE plane like the F-16 after UPT does that qualify for a Commercial SE license?

Yes, most do. After finishing UPT, most guys take the military equivalency test and go to the FSDO with their UPT paperwork to get their SE/ME Commercial. The military doesn’t do it for you though, so it’s all on the member.

Similarly, for CFI a mil IP can do the written exam, and get a CFII and MEI from the FSDO without ever flying GA, (unless you only instructed in the F-16 and/or T-6, then no MEI). Then, to get your (SE commercial &) CFI, you do a add-on checkride.
