Today, however, one of the top places for our government agencies to recruit is on the campuses of the colleges and universities in the Rockies. It was as if the federal government, only in the last few decades, had finally become aware of such a valuable resource in the Rocky Mountain West. Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and other neighboring states have a large population of young adults, men and women who have had exposure to living abroad as missionaries for an extended period of time--eighteen months to two years. And as such, a great number have learned to speak at least one of the fifty major languages of the world with exceptional fluency. Another important factor for their recruitment is their healthy life style, usually free from the problems associated with alcohol and drug abuse. A further aspect of their appeal to recruiters is that most of these young men and women tend to be patriotic and loyal to the ideals upon which our nation was founded.
