Most of this "expertise" and "adaptability" your speaking of comes from being in the military brehI hated John Boyega portrayal of Finn, at first, especially when compared to how badass he was in the comic but he's not a bad character not was he a damn c00n.
Do people not realize he's going through a pretty classic "Hero's Journey" literary structure?
They've already shown signs of Finn being shown as one of the more heroic and the most complex characters in Star Wars but dudes aren't even spotting the signs.
-Finn's moral compass and mental strength is among the strongest we've seen. People sleeping on the fact that Finn is a child soldier that has been indoctrinated and subjugated his entire life to think the First Order is his entire world but he was able to free himself of that mental programming and engineer an escape, something that is unheard of ever.
-He's the first storm trooper to break free of the mental shackles they placed on him and his moral compass is so strong that it made him do the impossible.
-Finn has shown the same superhuman adaptability skills that Rey has. Finn has never seen actual combat or fired and actual shot until he flew away with Poe. People forget that he almost immediately grasped how to use multiple blaster controls in multiple ships good enough to outshoot trained pilots. Also, notice how quickly Finn started ripping through storm troopers the second he picked up a weapon he was familiar with
-Tactical and guerilla expertise. It was Finn's plan to gas Han and Chewie when they thought they were enemies and climbing aboard the ship. If that had been the First Order, they would have been killed because of Finn's quick thinking. Before Han and Finn find Rey on Starkiller Base, it's Finn who is coming up with the attack plan and handling the tactics.
I could also go on by how Finn made his own choices, choosing loyalty over the mission (When he prioritized saving Rey over destroying Starkiller), which makes sense when you see that Rey was the first person to treat him like a human. It also fits thematically because choosing the mission over the individual lives of the soldiers is absolutely a First Order mindset and Finn is shown to be the moral center of the film.
Outside of that, they're already framing as courageous and giving him heroic personality traits as a foundation of his heroic adventure.
Indoctrinated child soldier fights against lifetime of mental programming after experiencing the unjust rule of his oppressor and becomes a hero by embracing the same humanity and emotions that his enslavers tried to stamp out of him. That's a good framework for a heroic character, no matter what y'all seem to think.
Yea he never shot in real battle before but obviously they trained him on how to do it
Every military teaches nikkas strategy in boot camp

And? Having a tactical mind plus some background in military means it makes sense that he was the one coming up with the decisions.
FN-2187, your targeting was exemplary. According to the simulation, you fired your weapon only thirty-six times, scoring kills with thirty-five of those. You deployed one explosive, which resulted in the achieving of the objective and another six enemies killed. All of you should take your example from FN-2187.Captain Phasma to FN-2187 and his team.
Quote directly from the prequel book and shown by how good he was with a blaster. What's your point? How does him being in the military take away from any of this?

Seems to me James Cameron wasn't impressed 
You can tell George Lucas hated that movie. I can just see him and Cameron talking about George looking like "
where's the imagination"

So they let Boyega go home early with C-3PO. Doesn't sound like a lead part. Ridley/Isaac/Driver still on the set like

Because it means that it's a no brainer that he should have those skills
Why am i gonna give someone props for some shyt they were trained specifically to do? Props come from going above and beyond. Him being able to do what he did wasnt special at all given his trainin backgrojnd
Am i gonna give a nfl quarter back props for being able to throw 50yds? No because his ass should be able to do that by default

Better yet this nikka gave you a quote from the fukking prequel book that no one in the general audience knew existed or even gave a fukk about
Why didn't they translate this bad assness into the film then instead of making the nikka look like a clown throughout

i fukk with Boyega but he took the princess leia partI guess you're right, it's getting a little masochistic at this point....

James Cameron also endorsed the newest Terminator movie so take what he says with a grain of salt. A lot of the script was based on the original script George Lucas took to disney for episode 7. One day I'm going to do a write up about how fukking good of an action/adventure movie TFA is. JJ did everything he had to do to setup this epic trilogy. People may have had problems with Boyega's character and that's fine to have that opinion, but I think in the sequels he is going to become a Jedi hero character and people will retroactively enjoy TFA more after his character arch is revealed. JJ had to introduce us to these new characters and this new universe, there is so much to flesh out for each character that Rian Johnson and Trevorrow will be able to cover. We're going to see these characters progress and grow before our eyes, this is only the beginning. But that aside, from a pure directorial standpoint JJ Abrams did an incredible job.
