Military enlistments refer to the process by which individuals join the armed forces of a country. This typically involves meeting specific eligibility criteria, such as age, citizenship, and physical fitness. Once accepted, recruits undergo training to prepare for their roles in the military, which can include various branches like the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps. Enlistment can be voluntary or, in some cases, mandatory through conscription. Individuals may choose to enlist for various reasons, including a desire to serve their country, gain skills, or access educational benefits. The duration of service can vary, often ranging from a few years to a longer commitment.
