Training Application Process
We operate on the basis of first-come, first-served. Once all billets are full, subsequent requests will be put on a wait list in the order received. A percentage of billets will be reserved for cadet to complete RT and advance to Seaman Apprentice.
To request a training billet, complete these steps IN ORDER to secure an approved spot. The faster you complete ALL these steps, the sooner you will have a confirmed place at the training. We don’t mark “confirm” until you have submitted a complete Training Form NSCTNG001 *or* paid online. Confirmation does not guarantee you a billet. It will be given to another who completes the requirements before you. We mark “approved” when you’ve done both. Get your 001 uploaded first, and as soon as possible.

- Step 1: ask your unit’s training officer to register you for your specific training on Magellan (unit officers have credentials for access to Magellan, parents don’t).
- Step 2: complete and sign an NSCTNG001 – this is essential, as we need those signatures and initials. Your unit’s officers must help with this and upload it to Magellan. Don’t wait!
- Step 3: upload NSCADM 001 PAGES (7 AND 8 ONLY) - REPORT OF MEDICAL HISTORY SUPPLEMENTAL to Magellan if your cadet or Staff Cadet will need to take medications during the training. Your unit’s officers must help with this. No meds? No med forms needed.
- Step 4: upload any ADA Request for Accommodation into Magellan well in advance for review, subject to approval. An approved Request for Accommodation at the home unit does not automatically apply at the training. Your unit’s officers must help with this.
- Step 5: pay the Training Fee . We have implemented an online credit card payment system which you will find at the bottom of this page. There is a service fee charge added to the training cost.
- Step 6: Review our Training Website, the Welcome Letter and join the secure Facebook training page 2020 Fort Custer Combined Training. These are the only places where updates will be posted and questions answered.
Online Training Fee payment for cadets (and staff cadets). You will note a transaction service fee has been added to the cost of the training. In the "Note to Seller" section add your cadet's first, last name and name of home unit for example - Ben Swiftboat Wolverine Division, or Jessica Marlinspike Thomas Jefferson Division. This will help our financial officer track your payment). Paying for multiple cadets in one transaction? PLEASE tell us the names of every cadet for whom you are paying. Often cadets have different names from the person paying, and we will not know who the payment is for and your cadet will not be approved.
