I didn't have to do just one check ride to get my wings, nor my operational captaincy nor my instructor qualification, it is a never ending round of check and test rides in the military.
Just because you went through more rigorous training and testing for your wings, doesn't mean my were simply handed to me. If they were, I'd be a cfii, instead of just a lowly commercial pilot with forty hours of hood time and a book of hand made lesson plans.
