agree  Deane Goltermann: This is correct, Perhaps with 'process' - in fewer words.

  -> Thanks, Deane Goltermann.
disagree  Sven Petersson: Enlistment (in this context) = to enter the armed forces. "Mönstring" precedes enlistment; see my answer.
8 hrs
  -> Enlistment denotes the entire procedure, including the final outcome. Therefore, your interpretation is not correct.
agree  Anna Herbst: And Norstedts Ord.se agree as well.
