Narrative:
The military was an MTR X on a training flight from npa over amg back to npa. The large transport Y was off orl en route to ord. Due to turbulence both aircraft were at FL290 and when the controller tried to provide separation the MTR X aircraft was not listening on frequency or not very attentively.
