The following was created to replace 5 different classes with 1 class to cover them all. (Grunt, Military Specialist, RPA Elite, RPA Fly Boy, Tech Specialist)
Also with MOST classes I find the skill bonuses the receive are insignificant typically and these characters are in fact relatively incompetent with their skills until they get to 5th level or better. I think being trained means you should be relatively good with your skills. Use penalties to show the difficulty of the task instead of skill incompetence. This may be my own issue but I don;t think I am alone. If you think they are too high then, if you use this class, drop the bonuses to 10-15%.
Also you will notice a couple of skills that are not in the RUE. Jogging is from Rifter #19. If you do not have this issue then just replace it with Running (though as it does now, doing so will allow your character to run the 4 minute mile if not better). There are other skills as well. Military History and Tactics. Use Naval History and Tactics as the basis for the skill percentages.
