Outline for military service? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draft

This clue is a double definition.

'outline' is the first definition.
(I know that outline can be written as draft)

'military service?' is the second definition.
(being drafted for military service)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for draft that I've seen before include "Rough sketch" , "Preliminary outline" , "Preliminary text or plan" , "Provisional document" , "Current of air or preliminary version" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
