Yea, in CAP we have to meet both. We have to maintain our FAA
certificate to fly the AF owned aircraft and also maintain our CAP
qualifications (similar to the regular AF's). So you need to have a
Form 5 check every 12 months with a check pilot and need additional
check for things like instrument, night, and certain types of flying.

Well, yeah, since the CAP isn't military and the members aren't part of
the Armed Forces.

CAP is a military auxillary. All procedures and processes (including
AF checkrides) are dictated by the USAF. If you don't want to follow
USAF check out and currency procedures you cannot fly USAF owned
aircraft for CAP.

That wan't meant as a put down of the CAP, merely a statement of fact.

Since CAP members are civilians, they have to meet FAA requirements.

Since the USAF is paying the tab, the USAF imposes it's own additional
requirements.

What's the problem?
