Yes you can bring your military records as proof.

Not sure in the helicopter world, but I know in the AF pilots only log actual flight time where in the civilian world you log taxi time as well. The FAA defines flight time as any time the aircraft is moving under its own power.

Reason I mention this is that most military folks have more time than their records show, important if you are trying to get your ATP and are short a few hours, I did ATP licenses as an instructor. Now there is no magic formula that you can just plug in to get all that taxi time, you have to look at every flight and try to remember how long you were on the ground.
