BEagle,
This was a "few" years back and it appears before your current mil. accreditation. I did find out that our FAA conversion were very easy to accomplish though enriching those who signed off on the tests. Very little practical knowledge tested and none was imparted.
I had the experience a few months back in seeing a few FAA administered check rides to a couple of pilots (757/767) in one our major airlines. The questions were along the lines of "Do you know your flap speeds?" not "Do you know your flap speeds and what are they?", huge difference. Only a single handful of digits worth of memory emergency procedures the rest being "I’d look it up in section X". Very interesting.
