We do train in the grob but apparently it isn't enough hours to meet minimums. According to my logbook I have 22 hours in the Grob

I was told I needed
-10 hours of solo
-3 hours dual cross country (night)
-10 takeoff and landing to a full stop (night)
-6 hours of dual in preparation for solo
-3 hours dual in preparation for the checkride
That is directly from one of the CFI's here in Dothan
I've been looking through the FAR's but am confused because I know I will have a commercial multi land and instrument ticket, but no single engine stuff. So I am having a hard time picking out what pertains to me

Will your duty station have an flying club? That is usually the best place to get your CSEL added on. Come to think of it, do military bases still even have flying clubs anymore? I have been out for a while.

Some bases still do. JAX, PAX River, Monterrey come to mind. That being said - we have instructors and "cheap" time but no DPE's.

I'm an Army FW guy that did the same thing. You'll get more bad info than good from both CFIs and the FSDO. If you PM me your email I'll send you the input that I got from a guy that used to be contracted out to provide the SEL add-on to Army FW guys back in the day.
Bottom line, you'll need to go through the Part 61 table that lists what is required for a comm add-on. Lazy8s, chandelle's, etc. Be advised, however, interactions with DPEs can be a totally different experience than what you're used to at FlightSafety. These guys couldn't care less whether you pass or fail, they're strictly there to evaluate (and collect a hefty fee).
I would plan about 10-15 hours with a CFI at a local club to get where you need to be with these maneuvers.
