As a student pilot you can only log PIC time when you are the sole occupant of
the aircraft. You will see that is found in FAR 61.51. After your solo
endorsement you are not rated for the aircraft. As a private pilot once you are
"rated" in the aircraft you can log PIC time for all that time that you are the
sole manipulator of the controls. So add up your solo time as a student pilot
plus your USAF solo time as well as your sole manipulator of the controls after
your obtaining your private and you will have your total PIC time. I hope this
helps you out.

For your USAF(or airline, etc) time you can also add any time you were
captain in a multicrew aircraft, regardless of who was on the controls.
