It took me a while to realize that regardless of how much or how little impact I make while on any job, within a week or less of leaving, few if anyone remembers who you were or what you did. I've seen it many times; some employee retires after many years (good people and bad). Within days, their desk/office/work space is reassigned and life goes on. With a little turn over, you mention some project/case/assignment Joe did a great job on and half the people there look at you and say, "Joe who?"
Do your best but know that every minute you spend with family and friends is worth one hundred hours at work.
Going to Quantico or Brunswick?
Be safe.
