Career soldier (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lifer

'career soldier' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lifer that I've seen before include "One with very long sentence" , "One with maximum sentence" , "convict given longest sentence" , "Long-term prisoner" , "Person serving long sentence" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.
