He's a retired Air Force F-15 pilot with an FAA commercial ticket,
multiengine and instrument rating. Impressive stuff, but the last time he
flew was in 1983. While looking over a chart he had no idea what Bravo
airspace was.

*wince*

It's pretty clear that his knowledge base is obsolete and he's not ready
to
fly in today's sky. My question is, could he pass through the BFR process
in a couple of hours or would the instructor make him go back and hit the
books for a few weeks.

I bet that if he's that seasoned of a pilot he'll correct his own course as
soon as he realizes the situation.
