Yeah, my maternal uncle, after leaving Army active duty following his tour in 'Nam, became a history teacher. He spent several summer vacations from his public school job, mobilizing for the Army Reserve, to teach military history (at Fort Dix, IIRC). My mother was also a history teacher, so road trips when I was a kid often involved visits to places like Bunker Hill, Yorktown, Gettysburg, Appomattox, Mystic, the USS CONSTITUTION... You get the idea.
