But I have heard the reason is it eats into our 1000 annual hours commercially. 14 CFR PART 117.23 But if it is just to keep current , you can fly your heart out for free. The military flies all the time outside of piedmont, but since they aren't compensated (directly) it doesn't count as commercial FOM 16.3.1. The military is also specifically allowed in the FOM unnecessarily as it isn't commercial flying.
