Instruction included teaching the cadets how to load and fire an Enfield rifle-musket and explain the life of a typical soldier of that time period. The opportunity to work with cadets at the U.S. Military Academy is considered a great honor.

In addition to teaching history, Buccheri also created two Living History electives on the Revolutionary War and the Civil War; courses unique to the Carmel Central School District.
