​Preparation is the key to training at Navy League Orientation.  Use this formula for ultimate mission success.
90% preparation + 10% execution = 100% success.
  In other words.. 90% of prep is on the front end.

Request Training
Submit a NSCTNG001 Request for Training Authority (orders).  This is done through the training officer at your local division/squadron/battalion.
Eligibility Requirements
Every Training in the Naval Sea Cadets is similar but some may vary slightly based on the training.  This site will deal with Navy League Fort Custer specifically.
  • Documents to upload to Magellan include:
    • NSCTNG001​
    • Medical History Supplement. Only if the cadet will require over the counter or prescription medication during the training dates.​​
  • Payment
    • Payment is made online and must be received prior to training approval.​
  • PRT - Physical Fitness Test.  This is performed at your local division.  Magellan will not let you register for this training unless you have passed the PRT in the last 6 months.

  • Letters from Home give a big boost to cadets as they endure the demanding schedule at NLO.  ​
  • Letters can be dropped off on In-Take day. Address them as in the above example and dates in the order to be delivered in the upper left corner.
  • Inspect your uniforms regularly.  Be "picky" about them.  NLO is an unique environment where everything matters.  Pay particular attention to your dress uniform.  You will be photographed in this uniform and more importantly you will graduate in this uniform.  Be sure your "White Hat" is clean and bright white.  Learn how to fold your uniforms into your seabag correctly.​
PACKING TIPS: To speed up seabag inspection during In-Take Day place like items into zip lock bags and label contents and  amount on outside of the bag.  For example all t-shirts into one bag, label it 7 coyote brown shirts, 1 white shirt.

Coyote brown t-shirts are available on Amazon by Soffe.

​Haircuts

All male recruits are required to have a #1 all around hair cut prior to In-Take day. You will be sent to a local barber shop if you show up without the proper haircut. Don't be that cadet.
