Speaking as somebody who used to certify military aeroplanes for a living before switching to the civilian world, and have also trained as a pilot in both environments. You can, to some extent, provide very specific advice like that for military aeroplanes, because the pilots are (relatively) high ability and disciplined. There will be much less of a tendency to freelance on how to fly manoeuvres, or forget the approved way of doing things amongst military pilots than you have to assume with civilians.
The military pilot training and airworthiness sides are also much more joined up with each other than in any civilian environment, so it's much more possible to ensure a truly joined up aircraft approval, and pilot training syllabus than you could ever do in the civilian world. That allows you to do the sort of thing you're describing here - g-meter or not.
