Wears military gear (8)
I believe the answer is:
fatigues
This clue is a double definition.
'wears' is the first definition.
('fatigue' can be a synonym of 'wear')
'military gear' is the second definition.
(fatigues can mean military clothing)
(Other definitions for fatigues that I've seen before include "Army gear" , "Military clothing" , "bores" , "Non-military duties of soldiers" , "Drains" .)
