Just saying what I've been told during the last 3 years stationed in Newport, and I did ask a lot of those I met that had done multiple tours and they nearly all said that they wanted to continue the great work that we are doing over there. They often tell of stories of how much the locals appreciate them and how they have seen so much in improvements in the daily lives of the locals. I know a couple guys that just left on their 6th tour (volunteered on last 2). It's hard for someone to gauge success from the States, but they tell me that it is all worth it, and they do not want to quit before the job is done. Then you usually get their "grunt" followed by a "Semper Fi".
