Military Flight Training

Wasn't there just recently a post here by an ex-mil pilot who held a
twin-engine rating but not single engine?

a lot of USAF UPT grads will have never flown a single engine
airplane, and when they go to the FSDO for thier tickets they get a
commercial multi+instrument, typically limited to centerline thrust
(no single engine rating). Most of the guys i've talked to just leave
it at that until they retire or go to get thier ATP. If they ever get
checked out in a non-CLT aircraft in the military they can go get the
FSDO to take the restriction off thier ticket, and they can get type
ratings added to it based on thier military experience (only useful if
they are flying the airframes with civil counterparts). When they are
done with thier ATP ride, thier ticket is just Airline Transport Pilot
- Airplane Multi-engine Land, and they wont have single privledges
unless they get military experience in one or take an FAA ride.
