If you're doing it by the book, you'd need at least 4 points in soldier (for IQ+2) before it could start to match having one point in every subsidiary skill (for a minimum of IQ-2), since generally rolls you can use soldier on you could instead use the specific skill at at least +4.
Except of course there are a bunch of things Soldier covers as well as or better than any other skill, found scattered throughout Tactical Shooting for instance.
