Honestly, I'm not so sure that teachers need to go to school for 4 years and then have classes every year or whatever the continuing education requirements are. That being said though, you need to have a certain level of proficiency. You need to be able to show that you completely understand the material you are trying to teach people.

I don't understand how veterans are better able to teach kids than some random person off of the street. There has to be some kind of control about what jobs in the military can teach what subjects in school. You a cook in the army? You have no business teaching Earth and Space science to 8th graders.

IMO, as long as you can demonstrate the knowledge that would be taught in that subject, you should be able to become an apprentice teacher. And if through that you demonstrate that you have the ability to teach, you are able to become a full teacher.
