If CAP is your type of people go for it.
Find out what units have aircraft, they generally do the most flying. Don't expect to just jump in a fly... it will probably be a bunch of paperwork followed by a bunch of waiting followed by more paperwork before you get to fly. They will probably want you to be their "Aerospace Education Officer" which can be rewarding and frusterating. From my experience most "missions" happen at 3am just when you are in a nice, deep sleep... you go out to look for someone who had a bad landing and activated their ELT. Some "missions" were not bad as far as flying goes and can be fun.
Most CAP Senior Members are, to put it bluntly, a disgrace to the USAF style uniform. Some...however... are truly dedicated to their mission and do it well.
but yeah... try to find a unit with an aircraft at least
