Boot camp bud (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

messmate

(Other definitions for messmate that I've seen before include "Comrade in the services" , "Army companion sharing a 4 down" , "Fellow diner" , "Sharer of the same (military) accommodation" , "Military colleague sharing a 4 down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
