Not all military personnel receive survival training. A person who works in administrative or support roles will rarely receive any such training. Pilots, air crew and special operations personnel are generally the only ones who receive it as a minimum standard. Others do go through it at times, but not often. That goes for all branches. Even combat arms personnel in the infantry, artillery or armor do not often receive it. Living out in the elements can provide some experience, but that is not the equivalent of training for survival. Just serving in the military does not make one a survival expert by any means. Even attending a course does not.
