4 years

4 years, that's how much time is unaccounted for in my life. 4 years of my youth and the prime of my life wasted on nothing. I'm not talking about the details of living, experiencing, learning, and growing as a person, which would make for a far more discouraging assessment of my life. I'm talking about main stages, like elementary school, junior high school, high school, college, Army. On that level, I have 4 empty years. Can I make up for the lost time with increased, accelerated productivity?

On a related note, check out the Peace Operations Policy Program at George Mason University. Interested much? You bet.
