Major personal achievement (9)

I believe the answer is:

milestone

(Other definitions for milestone that I've seen before include "Significant developmental stage" , "Wayside indicator" , "Significant stage of development" , "Significant event or stage - a measure" , "Roadside distance marker" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
