Did you happen to read this part? It pretty much answered your question

NOTE: Up to 50% of the 1500 hour total flight requirement may be waived upon verification of prior specialized skills and experiences (e.g., general military flight experience and training, complex aircraft flight instructor experience, multi-engine aircraft time, night vision device operations, imminent danger, and terrain and/or over-water operations.)

Most of this is specific to military flying, but not all of it. My guess would be that military flying is weighted heavily but all your time is looked at.
