You could be good with a pistol or a sword, or you might play music or build droids. I was a pure combat player, and people would sometimes ask me if I crafted. I’d always tell them yes, I do. I make dead people out of living ones. (I think @Nagash would consider that a gathering profession in his line of work.)

As for a full-blown military....meh, people have done it in RP servers in other games and, I don't know I always found it rather boring. Anyone who has actually been in the military irl will likely tell you that military service is 90% boredom, 10% terror.
