I've been reading around this forum for a while, and I've got a question. I keep reading about Reserve Force soldiers trying out and making it through JTF-2 selection and the SOAC. Now, whenever someone describes a Reserve Soldier who has gone to selection, they are described as "switched on", or being "hardcore". Now, what I'm trying to ask here, is what does someone mean when they say a soldier is "switched on", and what kind of character traits are the elite units looking for? I would imagine, professionalism, dedication and maturity are key, but what other traits would a Reserve Soldier be able to work on to improve one's soldiering ability, as well as the chance of making it through selection if one were so inclined to try out?
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks!
