Two quick side comments (which are pretty much applicable to any sort of competitive market & business, I believe):
1) SF compete in order to survive not only in the battlefield, but also among the peers. Since only the finest can survive in a highly competitive environment (it is not a matter of surviving throughout the rigorous courses, but maintaining a solid place in the community in the long term), it is imperative that you keep on honing your skills and expand your intellectual horizons for the sake of keeping the “diplomat warrior” label on your bizcard (!).
2) Since the conflicts of the modern day evolve with a continuous pace, one of the keys to success in the SF world is “adapting”. The faster and better you adapt yourself and your team into that specific zone (physically, CULTURALLY, linguistically and mentally), the chances are higher for the mission success. Because no other conflict or fight that you find yourself in will be the same with the previous one.
