    Post the damned poll here and quit hyping that pedestrian site.

        This was in response to an earlier CB thread about "the best two years". I can buy that a mission can be a "good" or "very good" two years, but I don't buy for a second that it will ultimately end up being someone's best two years in the long run, unless for some the reasons listed in the poll.

          at 22-23 maybe. If it still is at 52/53 you've had a very boring/non eventful life.

          I may be small, but I'm slow.

          A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

            I always called my mission the best two year of my life so far. I've easily surpassed those two year with marriage and fatherhood. I will always look back on those days fondly, but those years pale in comparison to my life since.

                If a mission were the best two years of your life, you are a loser. My mission was great, granted, but every sequence of two years at any other given point in my life was probably better.

                  Come on. You are only required to say they were the best two years of your life until you get married.

                    I don't know about best two years of my life. But I really enjoyed my mission.

                        Well I did grow up a lot and learned Spanish. And I wasn't depressed like I usually am... hard to say that it was the best, b/c there was a lot of really bad stuff mixed in there.

                          My years spending all my time posting on message boards has been so much more rewarding.

                            I babysat for 15 of the 24 months.

                            But those 9 months that I didn't were absolutely fantastic.

                            And I would do it all over again. Even if I had to put up with the 15 months of babysitting.

                            I enjoyed it greatly.

                              Actually, Kamchatka was a blast, for the two weeks I spent backpacking through there. Course I wasn't proseletyzing, but that place is just plain fun, especially if you like caviar. And volcanos. And great train rides.
