Flew Blackhawks in the army and had no idea I could just walk into the FSDO and show them that I was a Blackhawk PIC and they gave me a S-70 type rating Easy Peezy.   Just had to complete the IACRA.   Do not have an ATP so they issued it at the commercial level. I'll probably never use it or never need it but hey that's an easy free type rating. It's my first.

Like within one or two years after you get out?  Otherwise after that you can't get the type?

you have type ratings on foreign licenses those may be transferable to your FAA Certificates as well - depends on whether the FAA recognizes the foreign issuing authority.

to start.

Recognized foreign licenses with type ratings can be validated for transference of type ratings to FAA Certificates as another poster has indicated.  British CAA Licenses for example.

Yes, did it, no problem.  Proof required.
