Actually the Scout service was the best place for Samantha to learn her
specialty...flora and fauna of worlds in which humans can survive.  She
is not combat trained...what she does know is from having to deal with
big, dangerous animals and from barroom brawls.
	She would be most upset if you considered her ex-military...
the scouts are civil-service, yes, but she spent the 5th frontier war
helping refugees survive, not killing Zhodani.
