Do the Air Force pilots who train in the T-1 get a centerline thrust restriction on their FAA certificates (assuming no MEL prior to UPT)?
 
Jim, The short answer "NO", or at least they should not. The T1 is a B400 and a "civilian" aircraft with no center thrust restriction on a pilot certificate.

Ref: FAA Order 8700

These are the aircraft that have no Vmc information:

E. Limited-to-Center Thrust Limitation.
(1) The military aircraft listed below have no Vmc established by the manufacturer. Other military multiengine airplanes may exist now or in the future for which there is no published data on Vmc. Military pilots who can only show qualification in those kinds of multiengine airplanes may only be issued a multiengine airplane rating with the limitation “Limited-to-Center Thrust.”
