You're watching "Despicable Me", there's an air combat scene, and you're thinking..."Gru would've dropped that guy if he'd just set his convergence."

... you answer "roger" to a Canadian customs agent when he asks you if you have caught any fish on the Canadian side of the boundary waters.

... you plan for a merge onto the interstate and guess when you can get a shot before they change lanes.

... on your motorcycle you "check 6" for "bogeys" as you scream down the interstate at 90mph.

etc etc

you start systematically setting up other drivers for the killshot, you reply to any question that can be answered in the affirmative with 'roger that', conversely any question that can be answered in the negative with 'negative', and so on :D.

You spend school hours drawing your dogfights from last night on paper and work out how things went.

You are talking to people and you say roger instead of yeah.

You end MSN and Facebook convos to your friends with <S>

You spend your time in the back seat of your parents car holding your hands like an MG pulling lead on neighbouring cars and making gun noises.

You go flying with the Air Force Cadets and you keep scanning the sky for enemy planes.

You are talking to friends and someone is approaching you give speed and direction (12 oclock coming in fast)

While watching an episode of "Battlestar Galactica", you hear somebody mention the "Thorch Weave" over the radio chatter, which causes you to laugh hysterically, thereby alienating you from the other geeks in the room, who proceed to call you a geek.  You then spend the rest of the show explaining ACM as it applies to space combat, followed by a pointed discussion about whether you'd want to have Kara Thrace or Lee Adama as your wingman.  (Lee...Kara would leave you hanging to get the kill).

You're driving along the interstate and you spot two hawks circling each other.  You roll down your window and shout  "Check it, bird! Check it! Check it!"

My clueless dog was wandering into a kitten ambush in the living room: "Lucky, check it...low kitten...Lucky check it!  Check it!"
