My son recruited me into the local CAP squadron shortly after I got my
private. In order to fly CAP aircraft (mostly 172s and 182s), a private
pilot must take a Form 5 check ride and pass a written test. The Form 5
check ride is to the private pilot PTS standards and must be taken once
each
year after the initial check ride. After passing a Form 5 check ride, a
CAP
pilot is eligible to fly CAP aircraft at and below the power and
complexity
levels of the check ride aircraft.

Thanks. As an adult, if I join do I need to wear the uniform? I
currently wear a uniform as a Scout leader but the CAP uniforms look
too much like military. My father was a Naval officer so I wouldn't
want to give the impression that I was in the military.

The CAP is the civil auxiliary of the Air Force and is run by them. The Air
Force decides what the CAP uniform will be. Except for slight differences,
the CAP uniform has been the same as the AF uniform. Newer CAP uniforms look
a little less like their AF counterparts.

Adults are allowed to wear the uniform, but not all do. Go to a meeting and
see what the others do. You should wear a flight suit during exercises and
missions. The CAP blue flight suit is unpopular around here for several
reasons, not least that it makes you look like a Smurf.
