Enlistment Location Question

My gg grandfather enlisted in Lebanon, MO Feb 1, 1862. His name was William A. C. Thompson. He was in the MO 24th Regiment, Company C. The following month in mustered in for duty at Rolla. My question pertains to why did he enlist in one place, but muster in at another?

Also were there multiple places of enlistment, and he simply chose the one closest to him?
