Spare a thought for VR(T) officers in the Combined Cadet Force (if you haven't come across us, we're the school-based units, usually independent schools). The officers are almost all teachers; very few have any regular experience; a significant minority are press-ganged into serving and have no real interest in it; and a few units (including mine) have compulsory service for cadets. Despite the fact that our cadets come from nice well-off backgrounds and are generally polite enough, it's an uphill struggle if they don't want to be there, and sometimes this comes across in sqn visits &c.
On the plus side, we are well resourced, generally, have plenty of space and facilities, and as the officers are trained teachers, they are good at teaching things to cadets - a skill almost entirely overlooked in the 1-week ATC IOT courses. And, depending on your type of school, most of the teachers fit in well in the mess - indeed our own Common Room works in a very similar way.
