Teach on an American military base overseas?

[Sara the Slytherin]

I'm just curious about something. I understand that the schools on US military bases are called "dependent schools." I'm a Spanish teacher in North Carolina, I'm 29 now, my birthday is coming up. I studied abroad as an undergrad and I've been back in NC for years and it's a drag.

I have a friend who is VERY smart and he asked me if I would consider teaching on a US military base. He couldn't tell me all the answers to my questions, though.

First of all, am I too old? Would my age be a detriment? Would they consider me in spite of my age?

Second, on a US military base overseas... wouldn't they give priority to a NATIVE speaker of Spanish as a candidate for Spanish teacher? Would a US military base in Rota (Spain), for example, hire a US citizen to teach Spanish?

Thanks if you can help.
Unfortunately, I don't have European ancestry, I am just a boring Floridian.

I speak perfect Spanish though (I'm not bragging, just repeating what native speakers have told me).

Would you have to go through the visas and red tape or would different rules apply on a military base?

Ahhh and is it open to civilians?

You can get a job in translating\ teaching if you join up..
But you have to go through boot camp and basic training.
