Cheers! I agree that focus, discipline, and grit are great qualities to have, even underrated, but it’s probably not surprising/​insightful for me to say that.
I think military experience does a lot to build grit across the board and is very good for discipline in some situations, especially those enforced by cultural norms. I’m not convinced that being in the military inherently makes you a focused person though. At least, not away from the imminent pressure of the job. I spent 16 days in COVID quarantine as a Midshipman, and most of my peers in this situation did very little with intent.
