Sailor to receive exercise and military training (6,8)
I believe the answer is:
target practice
'military training' is the definition.
'target practice' can be an answer for 'training' (target practice is a kind of training). I am not sure about the 'military' bit.
'sailor to receive exercise' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'tar' (slang term for a sailor).
'to receive' becomes 'get' ('get' can be a synonym of 'receive').
'exercise' becomes 'practice' (synonyms).
'tar'+'get'+'practice'='TARGET PRACTICE'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for target practice that I've seen before include "Learner's shooting session" , "aiming to improve with this?" , "Working on aim" .)
