For instance, this conversation from the other day...
Me: I've just been knees deep in this report-writing/plot making stuff lately, I just finished a whole section about the mission tasks we did out at Courtland.
The BF: Oh ya, like the slalom and stuff?!
Me: Ya, and this maneuver where we had to accelerate to 50 kts then come to a complete stop within 800 ft.
The BF: WHAT?! Why didn't you ever tell me about that one?
Me: Well, I didn't think it sounded as cool as a "slalom" course...
The BF: Are you kidding me, that is like going 0 to 60 except in a Chinook.
Me: Ya, I guess it is, huh?
The BF: When I ask you how your day went, these are the type of things I want to know about April!!!!
Me: .....{crickets}......
So you see, it's a perspective thing. I just needed a little reminding...
