I was still Primary age when this happened in the early 1980s. Do any of you remember how it was introduced or announced, and did any of you guys serve at this time? How was it announced that they were going back to two years? It seemed like it was only in place a couple of years before it was done away with. When they lowered the mission ages two years ago, it reminded me of this, and that it
