This reminds me of that 'résumés in plain language' site that was around during the dotcom crash. It presented this kind of language in actual, real language (but in a snarky way, of course). It was hilarious. This probably would be translated into 'I can have conversations with people. Even people not on my own team!'

a badass pilot can overcome almost anything except extreme weather and catastrophic mechanical failure. those twin rotor helicopters are all getting quite elderly now. THAT'S that part that worries me most.

Y'know the coolest thing? I bet the pilot the of that Chinook looks back at that picture and says, "Oh, it was nothin'. Just doin' my job."
