A decorated war vet who teaches novice officers instead of advancing up the Common Ranks ladder. Probably a military legend and always gets his chance to shine in the Old Master or Retired Badass way sooner or later. There can be various reasons for him getting stuck in that position: He has a reputation of a Military Maverick who wouldn't make a very good commander (at least, in his superiors' eyes). He considers teaching the next generation more important than fighting itself, so he deliberately refuses promotion. He has actually already retired but was reactivated because the military needed skilled personnel badly. He is assigned this duty as his military's standard policy of assigning notable combat veterans as instructors since they are considered more useful teaching new recruits the skills they learned in the field. He usually hates being taken out of the action, but gradually realizes that the policy is right as he gets scores of new recruits ready for battle. In a way, a commissioned counterpart to Drill Sergeant Nasty, in that he can put his students through a Training from Hell just as easily. On the other hand, he is usually much more gentlemanly about it. Notably, they will be the first to tell the fresh-faced recruits something like, "First thing, War Is Hell, and if you want the best chance to survive it, you will listen to those who know." |

Sergeant Cyrus from Dawn of War 2 is a veteran Blood Raven who prefers to teach the chapter's initiates as Scout Marines and is implied to have trained the player character and the rest of the main squad. This doesn't stop him from playing an active role during the Tyranid invasion, Chaos incursion, and chapter civil war, nor will it stop him from bringing along his Initiates - it's part of their training, after all. | |

Forte Stollen, one of the main heroines of the Galaxy Angel trilogy, becomes this by the time of Galaxy Angel II. She's younger than most examples (27 years old by the sequel trilogy), but technically qualifies as she personally trained not only the first four members of the Rune Angel Wing, but also the Seldar Military. She never formally leaves the military, and actually participates in active combat duty during the first and third games of the trilogy. | |

Ace Combat: Jack Bartlett from Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War is Type 1: because of his actions during the Belkan War, his superiors mistrust him without any proof, so he is stuck teaching "nuggets" on Sand Island. Gets to shine late in the game when he escapes a squadron of fighters with precious cargo on board a transport plane (though, to be fair, you assist him) and then pulls off an Airstrike Impossible like your own team on his own. A subverted Type 3 in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War: The legendary ace Dietrich Kellermann, who became an instructor after retirement, is sent back to the frontlines during the Belkan War to boost the Belkans' morale. |

In The Tuskegee Airmen, the trainees — the first African-Americans ever trained as pilots by the US military — are surprised that one of their lead instructors is also African-American... and that the other instructors often defer to him.

He'd been doing a fair bit of the Veteran Instructor schtick as part of his regular duties during the last two seasons anyway.

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, the Earth Alliance tried to do this to Mu La Flaga at Alaska by reassigning him as a training instructor in California. He was about to get on the boat leaving Alaska until he remembered he'd forgotten something and ran back to the base to get it.* He actually wanted to take the chance to say one last goodbye to Captain Ramius. The result is that he's still on-base when ZAFT attacks and the boat leaves without him, so he stays with the Archangel. | |

Alastor Moody from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is brought from retirement by Dumbledore to teach Hogwards' students the ways of wizards' warfare for the inevitable impending struggle against Voldemort. He makes a stunning impression on the youths with his rough demeanor, vindictive punishment of evil deeds, epic Training from Hell and demonstrations of what wizards' ways of causing harm are like. It turns out that he's actually an imposter...but everything seen of the real Alastor Moody indicates that he would've taught the students in largely the same way. | |

After the war ends in Animorphs, Jake works training a squadron of morphers for the US military. He remarks on how bizarre it is that he's instructing soldiers five to ten years older than he is, but it's justified since Jake and his friends are probably the most experienced morphers in existence (the Andalites, who invented the tech, tended to use it very sparingly). | |

In BattleTech: Can happen in the Inner Sphere whenever a lowborn mechwarrior reaches retirement in service to a Successor State by one means or another (noble or ennobled mechwarriors get officer training, take over their family's estate, or are attained by their own lords and given lands to rule instead). For those who started out as mercenaries or the lucky few who tested into mechwarrior training, this is pretty much a dream assignment; unfortunately the positions are few and far between (there being very few mechwarrior academies) and competition is fierce. Clan sibko instructors subvert this; rather than being decorated veterans sent to educate the next generation, they often consist of the ones who have been removed from frontline combat (and thus denied the glory of combat) thanks to age, poor performance or political disgrace. The majority of them are very bitter about this and are more than willing to take out their anger on the teenage cadets they train, which is probably one of the reasons (along with all training being done with live weapons) why Clan training programs have a 80-95% dropout rate, and 30% death rate. |

Top Gun: The flight instructors at the eponymous school are all experienced veteran pilots. At the end of the movie, Maverick suggests that he might want to become an instructor himself. In the novel, he does. Based on the actual school, which had ace pilots as instructors. However, the storyline misses one important point of the actual school: Graduates of the Top Gun training course are intended to return to their original squadrons to teach the techniques they just learned to their comrades. |

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel revolves around student life at the prestigious Thors Military Academy, and several of the faculty are military veterans, most notably Major Neithardt, Professor Beatrix (Retired Colonel), and Principal Vandyck (Retired General). In Cold Steel III, the protagonist Rean Schwarzer becomes this, as he is now an instructor at the Thors branch campus, and he has over a year of solid military service under his belt as the Ashen Chevalier fighting in the Erebonian Civil War, defeating multiple incursions by the Republic of Calvard at the Erebonian border, and participating in the invasion of North Ambria. The branch campus also boasts among its teaching staff Towa Herschel, who had commanded the airship that was Rean's mobile base of operations during the Civil War, Major Michael Irving from the Railway Military Police and former General Aurelia Le Guin as the principal. | |

In Warhammer 40,000: One Space Marines special character is Ultramarines scout sergeant Tellion, who stayed a sergeant to teach new recruits, and has even been loaned out to the Ultramarines' successor chapters to further distribute his skills. This seems to be a common occurrence among scout sergeants, see below. The Gaiden Game Necromunda allows you to play as the Adeptus Arbites, an officially-backed riot squad rather than the usual street gangs. Given their access to better equipment, characters who reach a certain level are removed and considered to have become this for game balance reasons. Tau Fire Caste warriors can either keep serving or go up the ranks until they're removed from active service to become this. If that sounds limiting, bear in mind the Fire Caste's sole purpose is to fight for Tau, and Tau parents are genetically screened to ensure the best offspring comes out. Not that they mind. |
