Military sign-ups
Enlistees are people who have enlisted, especially in the military.
The term emphasizes their status as new recruits who volunteered rather than being drafted: The enlistees reported for basic training.
It can extend to anyone who has signed up for a cause or organization: The campaign's newest enlistees began making phone calls.
