Would we be able to use CiviCRM and its componets for this?

I think that this might be possible with CiviCRM but want to see for sure.

We are a volunteer search and rescue/disaster response organization.  What we need is an online membership database, that would have the volunteers information, that they would be able to modify if needed, etc. name, phone, email, etc.  But also need to have custom fields, that only command (admin) staff would be able to modify, such as training dates, certifications, etc.

This would allow the individual members to keep their information with us current, have the ability to see what training they have completed and when, but require them to request their team leader to modify dates, etc. when they are needed.

We are using Joomla as our site program, and would love to be able to use CiviCRM if it will be able to handle this. 

Also, one other thing, can this be used to restrict what members would be able to view once they login to the joomla site, say regular members have access to all pages, expect those that are for team leaders.  Or would we have to find something else for that?

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to use the CiviCRM Profile functionality to expose fields that you want members to view and/or edit in the front-end of your site. You can include the custom fields regarding certifications etc in the Profile as view-only.

Check out the documentation on creating and using Profiles here:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Profiles+Admin

Be sure to read to documentation about Profiles in Joomla front-end sites here:
