EW weenies, presuming they are the spiritual descendants of today's
commo weenies (not the platoon RTO, but the dimwit assigned down from
HHC to fix the radios) should get this.  Corpsmen (we call them Medics),
definitely yes--most of them are carrying a pistol anyway.  Engineers? 
Depends on type.  Combat Engineers, no.  As good as or better than
average infantry at this stuff.  Other Engineers (The bulldozer-driving
type, aka "Heavy Junk" for instance.  Or firefighting companies, or
generator units, or masonry/carpentry specialists), sure.  Same as file
clerks, staff officers, and the other "odds and sods" you might see
issued weapons, formed into ad hoc organizations, and sent in to plug
the holes when disaster is impending.
