Answer 1

Check with your post education office or the family readiness center. There is a program called "Troops to Teachers", which is available to all branches of the military. I know our AF family readiness centers all have info about the program, so I would assume the Army does as well. Check out their website below.

Good luck and thank you!!

Answer 2

To become a coach in my state, you must qualify for a substitute certificate at minimum. This requires 60 credits. Once that happens, you can begin substituting to gain experience and coach. Before that, you can coach at recreation/youth level to gain experience. There are alot of other questions, such as what do you want to teach, and what sports do you want to coach, along with what part of the country do you live in that disallow me from giving a more complete answer.
