Narrative:
After being cleared into position and hold the military jet was told to exit at the first taxi turnoff. We were then cleared for takeoff and pwred up to liftoff speed. Upon rotating, looking far down the runway, the military jet had missed its turnoff and was searching for the taxiway to exit runway. The traffic was not a safety factor as we were very lightly loaded and were clear of the runway in 2000 ft. Factors: 1) the small jet's low profile on the runway surface. 2) the tower's clearance for us to take off. The military pilot's inability to say he could not make the turnoff.
