It might depend on the community one comes from, but some spend A LOT of time briefing/debriefing communications and I've not seen any that I would say can not communicate. Now I've seen some mumble like they cotton balls in their mouths - but what they were TRYING to say was correct at least.
Now if they are not saying something in the AIM format then I can understand that if they never flew civilian, but then I'd say most can adapt fairly well. Most at least have proven to be somewhat trainable.

Agreed. Single seat guys are the best radio users in the world for the most part. All of the former regional/GA guys I ever instructed in SUPT or in the A-10 needed a lot of work on radios. Maybe you're talking about military guys who weren't military pilots.
