I don't know if it helps much but... I find that referencing stuff you have done in passing in comments or emotes helps build up a feel of experience. Or at least helps add some extra level of context. Obviously don't just spiel everything all at once, but dropping some knowledge here and there can't hurt.
For example, Chachan was taught some by Sei on how to fight someone with a spear. Then, in the Grindstones afterward, I would drop mention here and there of him doing something based off what he had been taught. For example: "sidling alongside the shaft of the spear, drawing in close as he was taught."
If it's fitting for your character, you can even make mention of things you've done if they're related to the conversation at hand. "I haven't been in Gridania since Byregot's Pilgrimage down in the South Shroud" or even "Watch your step around here, my unit had to fend off a group of Dravanians here; they might have come back 'round to reclaim the territory."
... So, basically at points where it feels appropriate to make reference to the experience is the best time to wear it. Or something. Works for me, at least.
