Several recent threads have made me think about the PCs in Traveller.
These people will have seen, in most cases, several worlds, all very very different if you play 3I. By the end of two enlistments in ground forces they will have lived and seen more unique lifestyles then even our modern military in their rotations (England is Central America, Far East, combat zones, perhaps America or Canada or Australasia---America is Europe, Far East, combat zones--France is, etc).
Navy, scouts, merchants will have seen much more, on a weekly basis.
By the end of a cycle, at least American military people have a unique combination of cynicism, acceptance of other ways, and a clannish regression to the mean of a southern lifestyle. I assume things are much the same in other western forces.
What is the outlook of a Traveller?
