Seems like the Navy career should include the option to acquire the Medic skill.
Here's where you can acquire the Medic skill on the career skill tables (obviously, the best way to guarantee getting the Medic skill is to go to University):
Skill tables, by Career, that include the Medic skill:
1. Service Skills: Scholar
2. Advanced Education table: Agent, Citizen, Marine, Rogue, Scout
3. Career Specialty table: Army (Support), Marine (Support), Scholar (Physician)
4. None: Drifter, Entertainer, Merchant, Navy, Noble, Prisoner
Most of these make sense, but given that the Navy is a military service, Medic seems like it should be an option.
My suggestion: replace Vacc Suit on the Navy (Line/Crew) specialty skills table with Medic. Vacc Suit is already available on the Navy Service Skills table, and as such, everyone who undergoes full basic training will receive Vacc Suit 0 automatically. And per the Vacc Suit skill description: "A Traveller will rarely need to make Vacc Suit checks under ordinary circumstances – merely possessing the skill is enough." The presence in the Navy Line/Crew specialty table matches up nicely with the Army (Support) and Marine (Support) specialty tables.
Thoughts?
