I look at professional skills as very cursory level stuff. Digging ditches in a militarily useful way. The barest minimum in weapon cleaning techniques. Sort of an "uber-default" for very simple stuff that would usually get a hefty bonus if you had a specific skill.
So if you had Electronics Operation - 12, and were going to operate a military radio, you might be rolling at +4.
But if you DON'T have that, you could roll Soldier skill. No bonus.
And a wildcard skill? That would also get the bonus.
