Nicely explained.

Partly. That explaination is only valid for military pilots that are
currently active. Your post mentions your friend is retired. I believe
he only has 24 months from his discharge to request an FAA certificate
on the basis of his military certifications. After that I believe he
has to start from square one.

Correct.. you can only do it as long as the Form 8 is valid, when I was on
active duty.. it was a 17 month check ride cycle. After that the Form 8
expires and the FSDO will not accept it.

I hope he still has time. That would really be sad for him to lose
that and have to start over again.
