[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb] That's Mormons. And I think it's when they're older. Eighteen or nineteen or something. [/qb][/QUOTE]All physically, emotionally, and morally fit Mormon men are asked to serve a two year mission. The mission is paid for by the missionary and/or his family and is served wherever the LDS Church sends him. The youngest a missionary may be is 19 years old and the oldest is 26 years old. Women older than 21 may also serve missions, but it is not expected of them. There are no Church sanctions or punishments for a male who does not serve a mission. However, most Mormons are at least slightly disapproving of an otherwise capable young man who chooses not to go on a mission. It doesn't amount to that person being ostracized, but I've heard that it makes it hard to get a date in some Utah towns. [/QB][/QUOTE]
