All federal jobs are advertised and applied to using the website usajobs.gov.

This isn’t limited to VA positions. It will advertise all federal hiring opportunities

VA jobs are federal positions and all federal jobs are posted on USAJOBS. Sometimes they are also listed on the VA website, but you have to apply through usajobs. Federal jobs can take 6 months or more to get hired from the closing date. It took me over a year to get my foot in the door (at a lower rate than I'm qualified for). Don't limit yourself or put all your eggs in one basket. Start building a strong resume now and start applying 6 months out. Utilize transitional services to help with the resume and usajob profile.

Have you attended a TAP Briefing? The information you’re asking for is provided in the briefing.

Some VA positions do not require you to work in the office. However, there are a lot of government positions in the Jacksonville area. There are two Navy bases, one Army camp (Blanding), and the US Army Corps of Engineers, as well as a myriad of other federal agencies. Go to usajobs.gov and register , then search for jobs for which you are qualified. There are job fairs that are held here, too. What do you do in the AF? You may need to be willing to take a position that you feel is lower than your skill set to get in the door, especially since there are no specific AF units in Jacksonville, although there may be some within a couple of hours drive.

Sgt Todd Sargent Google "VA Jobs" and go to find a VA Recruiter or look at the many others suggestions.
