An average PC isn't an average person and, by extension, an average military PC isn't an average member of the military.
It is true that T2K skimps a bit on civilian careers (unlike, say, Dark Conspiracy, which has several more) and goes into great detail in military careers (again unlike DC, which has simplified military options). However, a lot of this depends on the theme of the campaign. If it's "rebuild the world" then ex-civilians become rather important, for example. Also, some civilian careers are more useful than others, like police vs factory worker.
