Every male above 18 is legally US militia

"Every male above 18 is legally US militia"
Correct! But aren't we more considered a member of our respective State Militia? And we can be called into service by respective state militia at any time. We, (I may be on the high end of the age group, but I would chap at the opportunity to serve) are considered "Inactive militia members", but none the less, you, me, everyone else is a militia member.
Authorized under federal statute Title 32 of the U.S. Code, StateDefenseForces are entirely under state control—unlike the National Guard— both in peace and otherwise.[22] Hence, while the National Guard is a dual-apportioned force that can be called to federal service under Title 10 or remain a state force under Title 32, State Defense Forces serve solely as Title 32 forces.
I don't know for sure if ever illegable member is a member of the SDF, if the state has one, or choices to have one though, but somewhere it seems I read that they are.

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
Most people are waiting to "enlist in a militia", they already are in the militia. They just need to go train and get armed.
