you might want to check into that.
That depends on a few things. Some base employees are government workers, and work directly for the federal government. Other services are contracted out to private companies, both American and Japanese. If you work for the federal government, then getting permission to work is not a problem, if working for a private contractor, then the contractor will sponsor you.

On the other hand, getting a work visa requires that you earn at least 200k yen per month, and many part-time base positions are not going to pay that much. Even full-time positions at a private contracting company will probably pay less than that.
