What does a committed and hardworking veteran do once their military career has concluded? With the assistance of Troops to Teachers (TTT), they can continue their years of service as a classroom teacher, like retired US Army Captain Heatheranne Bozeman. She is a strong believer in Troops to Teachers, because she has personally benefited from the program. After she concluded her military service, the program helped her prepare for and gain a job as an educator. She retired as a military police officer in 2012, and now works as a television production instructor at Booker T. Washington High School in Pensacola, Florida.

“I’m that person when I was in uniform and they would thank me for my service, it just seemed like ‘No way, I’m so grateful for the military and for the service they gave me’ and it’s kind of the same with teaching,” confesses Heatheranne. “They’re the ones (the students) that keep teaching and growing me. So, if you look at your time in the military as what it’s brought to you, then teaching is gonna be the same way,” she continues.
