Here is a the way I have tried to explain to transitioning military pilots. 

If I were to show up in your world and be asked to perform the missions you do I would be completely lost. I have no idea how to fly formation, air assault landings, NVG ops (as you may have noticed I don't even know the correct terminology you use to describe what you do). However I have a basic understanding of how to fly a helicopter and if I listen closely, work hard, and am willing to learn it is very likely that at some point I will be able to fly the mission at least at the median performance level required to "get the job done". 

All I ask in return when you come to the world I'm familiar with is give me the same courtesy and I guarantee you will be able to perform at the median performance level. Unfortunately in my experience that is difficult for a majority ot military pilots to actually do that.  Not making a judgement just passing along my observations.
