Well in the Marines I learned how to shoot and it's the best skill I can think of to have.

I don't think we learn one 'best' skill. I think we learn many new ones, improve existing ones, and hone, then perfect others. My 'adapting' skill is off the charts. My Medical skills (68W) are far surpassing than any I've ever had. Situational awareness 24/7; sleeping and awake.
If I had to choose then my Medical skills are the best. Everyone needs medical care at some point. I've helped with sickness and injuries in the family since I got out. I've even helped some strangers during accidents or emergencies and just happened to be there. In my opinion and experience, everyone should learn CPR and Basic Trauma skills.

Self confidence. Everything else is built on confidence in myself.

The fine art of Management and Supervision, written and oral communication, keeping of records, confidence in my abilities, keeping control in pressure situations or incidents, the list goes on. I had some great Officers and NCOs to influence Me and in most cases set some very good examples to follow.

"SERVIVAL SKILLS" How to be a man and person and to be on my own to adapt to the military and civilian sector learning from my Leaders and Peers. How to react in a real world situation after that day, I took my in ARMY as a whole different way of life, REENLISTED treated the ARMY as home and as FAMILY still do and even miss it sometimes.
