Just a trainee but I'll take a stab.
Possible, yes if there is anything I've learned never say never.
Probable, I don't think so. It would be very low on my differential.
Major risk factors for PEs mainly consist of factors that would keep a soldier from duty- relatively recent surgery, chronic heart disease, deficiency of clotting inhibitors, ect...
I know there is evidence linking increased hormone levels to PEs but in a healthy young soldier I don't think it greatly increases the likelihood.
