I'm sure these are obvious, but I'm not getting anywhere with them, so I would appreciate any help.

Ring back ten American soldiers (6)
no letters so far

A habit that will keep one dry (10)
????????C?

I'm still fairly new to cryptic crosswords, so I would be grateful if you could explain the answers. Thank you for your help.

Ring = signet
ten Gi's backwards

Are you sure of the C? Could be mackintosh - habit in the sense of clothes

Thank you Trevor. It seems so easy once you've explained it.

AJT,

No, I'm rarely sure of my letters. I'll keep Mackintosh in mind. Thank you.
