Academy enrollee (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cadet

'academy enrollee' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cadet that I've seen before include "Younger son" , "Junior officer; younger brother" , "Younger son's branch of a family" , "Potential officer" , "One taking instructions" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
