It all really depends on the community that you work for/your attitude towards them. The soldiers you taught will very likely have a completely different mindset than your average student nowadays. I have worked in many districts where 90% of the students act like you're torturing them by even being there, and this is pretty common. But the better teacher you are, the more you care, and the more excited you are about what you're teaching, the more they seem to listen and respect you. Plus, when you get that one student who tells you that you really helped him/her out, and he/she appreciates it, it all becomes worth it. I say go for it, and besh wishes.
