Get paid for each service (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earn

'get paid' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'each service' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'ea'.
'service' becomes 'rn' (abbreviation for Royal Navy).
'ea'+'rn'='EARN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for earn that I've seen before include "Make - merit" , "Merit through work or effort" , "Get (money) for work or labour" , "Merit (a reward)" , "Receive in return for" .)
