They may or may not get the ASEL rating depending on their timing.
Not only do you have to have a valid Form 8, you also have to have a
graduation certificate from the military training school to show completion
of an "approved course of instruction". The "solo students" would not have
graduated yet. I do not know if the solo students get "solo form 8s" in
their training folders or simply endorsements.

Sorry, we've left that tid bit out of the discussion.

This is why the glider instructors at the USAFA do not get FAA Glider
certificicates. They may have soloed in gliders, and actually instructed in
gliders, but they have not completed an approved "course of instruction" and
earn glider wings.

We have had a few of the USAFA graduates that come to us to complete their
training and take the FAA Check ride for their civil glider rating.

They take a written, and based on military check ride (Form 8) are able to
be issued a Commercial, Instrument, Multi Engine and never know anything
about Props or P-factor or engines other than jets.

No SE.


That was the case in the past. The Tweet is being retired and new pilots
have been training on the T-6A Texan II, which is a turbine powered
single.
Now, the AF guys will get both single and multi instruction, like their
Navy
counterparts have always had (T-34C).
