One who holds a commission in the services (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

officer

(Other definitions for officer that I've seen before include "Serviceman (or woman) of rank" , "Person with authority in the forces" , "Public servant" , "Police constable" , "Person appointed to position of responsibility" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
