Well, if you write 'mission' and assume they know what that means, I 
wouldn't say that's particularly helpful.  People who have been on 
missions, for example, probably know that they can be very different 
experiences depending on where you went, when you went, and who you 
worked with.  And people who haven't gone a mission might not really 
know what good they could get out of you for it anyway.

But you could list your accomplishments in service projects, missions, 
and other volunteer work if that experience would apply to the career.  
Think of the problems you solved and the challenges you overcame, and 
list those that would make you more valuable in your field.

As for discrimination, if someone's got a beef with RMs, they'd probably 
figure it out sooner or later anyway. ;-)
