Civilian jobs on military bases?

I was told by a family friend that I should try to get a job on a military base, is that even possible?

I am under the impression that only military personal can do military jobs. can someone please shine a little light on the subject for me?

thanks,

There's plenty of non military jobs to be done on base. Most bases and "forts" have a web site -or several- that should have job listings. Plus, there's usually private businesses on large bases- theatres, dining, fuel,- the usual retail stuff.

wow, didn't know that. thanks:super:

When we were stationed in Guantanamo Bay in the late 60s, Cubans, Haitians and Jamaicans would come on the base to work as gardeners. I have no idea if they do that anymore.

Locals are employed on military bases all over, even in the current theaters of operations. They do all the jobs that there are no MOS or MOC for any more.

at McDonalds !!! Flip burgers if you please to do so.;)
I have no current info, but the NAS Pensacola had one there last time I visited.
I am sure the employees were not military.:)

FWIW,

P.S.- this was a tongue in cheek post....I'm sure you were wanting something more substantial for a job....not trying to slight a McDees employee...

FWIW, I work for the military in Canada, sometimes on base, other times not. Lots of civvies support the military in Canada, Australia and the USA that I know of personally. I assume in the UK as well.

I'm Civil Service(Guberment employee) and what Benchload has added is the correct way to apply. You need to get the resume done and submitted to be selected. They search for KEY words in your resume . Such as systems worked on ,or skills/certifications required for that position.
Good Luck!!!!

Here are a couple of Civil Service jokes:D

What does a broken rocket and a federal employee have in common?

You can't fire a broken rocket:lol:

What do 50 lesbians and 50 federal employee's have in common?
