I have about 18 months left in the Navy and I was trying to look for government jobs. Does anybody know a good place to start looking?

I am sure you have heard USAJOBS.com is the main or only place to go these days.
Sad to say but it also helps to know somebody close to or the Supervisor himself/herself.
I'm trying to get back into a new Agency to start a new Career with no luck.
Go Luck to you.

PO3 Dutton, if you haven't already done so, give this site a look: https://www.usajobs.gov/ I'll stop in later to share a few additional sites and resources...

First, choose a career series that you are interested in. There are hundreds of them and they are like MOSs for Federal civil service.
Next, choose the target grade you are looking for. Look at sample announcements at different grades to determine where you skill levels are. After that, choose the geographical area you want to work in. If you don’t care where you work, your options will be much better. Finally, work on your resume using the resume builder in USAJOBS. Tailor you experience to the career series that you are targeting.
USAJOBS has an automated search service that will email you matching jobs on a daily basis. Set the criteria to you interests and wait for the emails.
Applying for a federal job can take time. I've had jobs that I didn't get an offer until 8 months after applying. Sometimes it can be fast. One time, I got a job offer from DISA 3 days after applying.
Run with the assumption that you will get a one to four percent selection (hiring) rate, so shotgun those applications out. It's a numbers game.
If you have any questions, let me know.
