joins up
Becomes a member
Joins up means to enlist in the military: He joined up right after Pearl Harbor.
The phrase can also mean to connect or merge with something: The trail joins up with the main road after two miles.
In British usage, joining up often specifically implies voluntary military service rather than conscription.
