enlist
Sign for service
To enlist is to join the armed forces voluntarily, as opposed to being drafted: He enlisted in the Marines right after high school.
Extended uses apply the same idea of signing up for a cause or effort.
To enlist someone's help is to recruit their support: She enlisted her neighbors to search for the missing dog.
An enlisted soldier holds a rank below officer.
