On this side of the Atlantic, I find it varies considerably depending upon the individual. Some wear their military service on their sleeve, their car, their baseball cap, their t-shirts, their flightsuit, their...you name it, its on there.

Others, you wouldn't know unless they told you. I have the great pleasure of flying fairly regularily with a former T-38 instructor pilot, now airline pilot. He's great company and very rarely mentions what he did previously. His favourite fun is to scrounge as many flights in li'l ol' vintage aircraft as he can, and owns a couple himself.
