When a comment that an officer joined on a certain date is listed on a muster roll by the side of the name, is that the same as "enlisted"? It appears to me that it may mean that he joined that particular unit.


United States—Enlisted and Officer Muster Rolls and Rosters, 1916–1939 [Part N][M3JN-LQ6]

    I wouldnt use it personally. There are certain images that have clear cut columns that list enlistment dates and only in that case would i use them. If any other list says joined on <insert> or transfered on, <insert> or anything like that i believe we dont use those, but the general date at the top of the page.
