I'll see what I can do.

Cross-country Time: Must land at another airport and use navigation. No distance requirement.
Additionally...
For Aeronuatical Experience for PPL, COMM, IRA: Must also include one landing at an airport greater than 50nm (straight line) from the original departure point.
For an ATP: 50 NM distance is required, but NO landing.
For Military Pilots (who already hold an FAA COMM): Same as ATP.
USMC...unless there's something in your military flight logs which would contradict a claim of >50NM, I would just use your judgement and go back and estimate which sorties qualified.

Thanks for the info.
Like Milky says - unless we are hitting the landing pattern only or the PAR - every flight is more than 50 nm from home; so it shouldn't be to hard to figure out - just time consuming.

In short, any time you land at an airport that is not the one you took off from, you can log it as cross-country. The 50-nm rule applies when you're going for a rating.
Say you have 40 hours of flight time that was spent going to and from an airport 15 miles away. You also have 60 hours of flight time spent going to and from an airport 60 miles away...
You have 100 hours of cross country. You can put that on your resume, use it for 135 reqs, whatever... It's point to point and loggable as cross country.
HOWEVER, when meeting the requirements for a rating (commercial, ATP, etc.) you can only count the 60 hours that are >50nm. Because you are using those hours to meet the requirements for a rating.
You have 100 hours cross country, but only 60 are applicable when going for a rating.
