Was there any provision
from the FCC for military radio operators who knew code well
to get an amateur license more easily and quickly? There was
and is a streamlined process for military pilots to get
pilot's licenses.

Hi,
There was a pretty cool one that I never got to know. My friend's grandfather Watson Czerwinski was an AAF radio operator in WWII. He was also a ham. He became an engineer and did some pretty interesting antenna work with the Army at Camp Evans, some of which we recognize as vehicular antennas, and others maybe not including a helicopter antenna.
He was a ham also I think W2JSJ.
Check out this biography from an IEEE publication:
His would be a good story to tell at InfoAge.
