Are there any programs available that help service members secure a teaching license?

I'm in the national Guard and I've been subbing part time. The school I was primarily subbing at liked me and asked me to be a consistent teacher assistant. I actually enjoy it a lot. What are resources available to service members to secure teacher certification/licensure?

I've heard of the Troops to Teachers program....but that was years ago. Not sure if it still exists or suitable to your particular situation.

SPC Private RallyPoint Member, a brief Google search revealed the Troops to Teachers program is still active and viable, at least in the State of Tennessee. MSG Private RallyPoint Member is almost always “spot on” with his guidance and information, and this instance appears to be no different.
