Camp Pendleton trainee (6)

I believe the answer is:

marine

(Other definitions for marine that I've seen before include "seaman" , "Relating to the sea" , "Maritime - seagoing soldier" , "Airmen (anag.)" , "Relating to shipping or naval matters" .)

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