I tried standing in line, but after 2 hours they still hadn't moved :( Sorry!
You'll find out what happened to the missing recruitment ledger Blythe mentions in Lost and Found (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11601) - a nice little touch.

Description
You've come to enlist, right? Normally you'd have to stand in line like the other recruits. Normally you'd be out of luck because the recruitment ledger's gone missing and I can't process anyone until the new books get here. Fortunately for you, {name}, I've heard about you and what you did in Outland. To be honest, you're a cut above these poor saps. Lines aren't for you. Go to the barracks and speak to General Arlos. He'll be more than happy to meet with someone of your caliber.

- A Time for Heroes
It's good to have you among us, <name>. We've all heard of your past deeds. As you know, King Wrynn is moving great armies into Northrend to meet those of Arthas. But armies are nothing without true heroes to inspire and lead them. I want you to be that hero for my men.
