Can someone explain Aristotle's process of how we become virtuous? Do we use reason to determine what is virtuous, and then through habituation exercise those virtues?

Indeed, but it's important to remark that this habituation involves applying the same principle to different situations, which results in different correct courses of actions. Sometimes the corageous thing to do is retreat; others, to march forward. Hence why the rational determination of the principles of virtue does not collapse into deontology, much less consequentialism.
