air force

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'quite ridiculously' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'the service i care for' is the wordplay.
'the service' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'serviced' mean this (to service can mean to repair)).
'i'+'care'+'for'='icarefor'
'icarefor' anagrammed gives 'AIR FORCE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for air force that I've seen before include "one of the services" , "Kind of blue" , "Simple tune for church service" , "Junior service" , "A country's flying service" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
