This job in plain English
This is a flex cook job at the Ft Eustis Bowling Center on Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, for Air Combat Command. It is a Non-appropriated Fund (NAF) job that supports base morale and recreation activities, and the announcement lists few vacancies. Flex means there are no guaranteed hours, with 0 to 40 hours per week possible, and the work may include holidays, nights, weekends and on-call shifts.
Can you apply?
Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.
- Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.
The job is open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. Preference categories such as military spouse, veteran and transition hiring apply, and you must prove any eligibility you claim with your application.

- Prepare and cook simple foods such as pancakes, sausage, eggs and hamburgers
- Peel, chop, slice, bread and portion ingredients for menu items
- Mix ingredients by written recipes and reduce food waste
- Receive and check orders from vendors and stores
- Operate the cash register when the Cashier-Checker is absent
- Wash and clean kitchen equipment
Do you qualify for NA-4?
With experience: You need experience in and knowledge of food preparation and presentation gained in a grill, snack bar, restaurant, club or similar food setting. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts if your resume describes it clearly.
With education: This position does not allow education to replace experience. Foreign education can count only if you show it is equivalent to a U.S. education.
Licenses and certifications you need:
- Food Handler's Certificate, or completion of food handler training after hire
How to apply well
What to send:
- Resume (required) that clearly describes your food service experience
- Proof of any preference you claim, such as a DD-214 for veterans or proof of marriage for military spouse preference
- Cover letter, if you want to include one
How you will be rated: After the closing date, your resume, supporting documents and online questionnaire answers are reviewed against the qualifications. If you are found to have inflated your answers to meet the requirements, you may lose consideration, and errors or omissions may affect your eligibility.
Tips for this job:
- Describe your food preparation experience in a grill, snack bar, restaurant or club on your resume, since that is the required experience.
- Include proof of any preference you claim, such as a DD-214, because documents must be submitted with your application.
- Submit everything by 11:59 PM EST on 11/09/2026, and upload files early because they may take several hours to clear the virus scan.
