Military trainee (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cadet

'military trainee' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cadet that I've seen before include "One taking instructions" , "Trainee soldier" , "Officer-trainee" , "Young trainee, eg in the police" , "officer of the future" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times, the LA Times, the USA Today, The Mirror, The Sunday Times, The Times and the Evening Standard.
