You keep your watch set to GPS time
Flying anything without an ejection seat makes you nervous
The word "departure" makes you cringe
You have to stretch prior to a flight
You've gone through 8K #'s of gas in 10 minutes

You've shown off the G-sels on your arms after a HABFM surge and said, "yeah, I guess it hurts a bit, STS, but it's a good kind of hurt."
The flight doc has ever said, "I should probably order an MRI of your neck, but we might want to wait until you're a bit closer to retirement."
You've got a blanket apology letter in your pocket.
When you see a bell, you have an overwhelming urge either to steal it or to trick someone into ringing it.
Even in polite company, you can't restrain yourself from yelling the appropriate response when someone sings, "Dah-dum dah dum dum dum..."
Your wife...
... interprets for you in conversations with groundpounders.
... tells you she's putting the bill that arrived today in the "in-container."
... knows not to call after 1712 on a Friday
... keeps a bottle of Febreeze in the laundry room to wash the cigar out of flight suits
You enter a game room, see a slate table covered in felt, with pockets in the corners, and wonder why there are sticks on the wall.
A gumshoe proudly announces he got selected for 6-letter or 5-letter s, and you tell him you're sorry, not realizing that some people actually look forward to that stuff.

You still flop to the ground on your back with feet and arms in the air when someone says "deceased insect."
You still have a "special" F4 and liars poker dollar bill in your wallet.
You can't walk into a bar with your hat on.
