Certainly not. I'd have said almost certainly had this been a civilian. But the fact that it was an on-duty Marine gives this a 0% chance of not being reported.

- "We know that we had a neurological disease that was probably caused by a virus," Bernard said, adding that the lack of a positive lab test made it "highly unlikely" that the Marine had rabies."
- "Throughout his illness, he had a disease compatible with rabies," he said. "We don't know what it is so we can't say what it isn't until we know what it is."

Then they wouldn't have developed rabies. There was no Marine who got rabies at Quantico from a raccoon in the 80s who recovered.
