It effects his physical features. For instance if he is a longbowman he has a strong but disproportionate upper body. Other stuff comes about. His muscles will have more the shape of one who is used to hefting a knapsack or trailing the puissant pike, then one who pushes a plow.

Much of it is just Survival(battlefield). Not just tactics, but things like how to sleep at the right time and wake at the right time, how to endure drab food(not necessarily bad food-it might be excellent to a begger if poor to a burgher-but it will be repetitive), where peasants hide their grain and so on.
