- n a period of time spent in military service
- n the act of enlisting (as in a military service)
- Whether Democrat, Republican, or independent, we can unite with common purpose around the commitment to our servicemen and women that begins at enlistment and must never end.

- But proposed enlistment bonuses and other economic incentives will not make the military any more attractive to upper-middle-class young people.
