Narrative:
Called for takeoff from intersection J on runway 17L. Tower instructed me to hold short for landing traffic. An air force T37 was on final, and after it touched down, the controller instructed me to position and hold. Intersection J is about 1/2 way down the 9000 ft runway, and I would have taxied to the centerline about the time the T37 passed. I held short, informed the controller of the error once the T37 passed, and eventually completed an uneventful departure. The following monday I spoke to the ATC facility supervisor who said the controller had already discussed the incident with him and remedial training was already completed. We both agreed, no runway incursion occurred as I didn't cross the hold short line. Additional stuff: 1) clearance, ground, tower and approach were all 1 controller. 2) it was late. 3) T37 was UHF and I was VHF.

Title: A LCL CTLR CLRS AN ACFT INTO POS AND HOLD BEFORE A LNDG ACFT HAD PASSED THE INTXN TO BE USED FOR THE ENTRY TO THE RWY.
Narrative: CALLED FOR TKOF FROM INTXN J ON RWY 17L. TWR INSTRUCTED ME TO HOLD SHORT FOR LNDG TFC. AN AIR FORCE T37 WAS ON FINAL, AND AFTER IT TOUCHED DOWN, THE CTLR INSTRUCTED ME TO POS AND HOLD. INTXN J IS ABOUT 1/2 WAY DOWN THE 9000 FT RWY, AND I WOULD HAVE TAXIED TO THE CTRLINE ABOUT THE TIME THE T37 PASSED. I HELD SHORT, INFORMED THE CTLR OF THE ERROR ONCE THE T37 PASSED, AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETED AN UNEVENTFUL DEP. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY I SPOKE TO THE ATC FACILITY SUPVR WHO SAID THE CTLR HAD ALREADY DISCUSSED THE INCIDENT WITH HIM AND REMEDIAL TRAINING WAS ALREADY COMPLETED. WE BOTH AGREED, NO RWY INCURSION OCCURRED AS I DIDN'T CROSS THE HOLD SHORT LINE. ADDITIONAL STUFF: 1) CLRNC, GND, TWR AND APCH WERE ALL 1 CTLR. 2) IT WAS LATE. 3) T37 WAS UHF AND I WAS VHF.
