As I recall, Covert Ops uses MechWarrior 3rd edition, so you won't find those exact traits in the new A Time of War (MechWarrior 4th edition).
Alertness and High Endurance are not in A Time of War. Patient is listed on pg121 of ATOW. Meditation and Read Lips did not make it into A Time of War, either.
Though...Alertness, Patience, and High Endurance are not in MechWarrior 3rd edition (basic book), either. Nor are Meditation and Read Lips. They must be in a MW3 supplement somewhere.
By the way, which roleplaying game edition are you using?
