​STAFF CADET 

Staff Cadets are a vital component of Fort Custer Combined Training. While Petty Officer Leadership Academy teaches the theory of leadership an advance training as a staff cadet is the hands on application of those theories and principles. A successfully completed POLA is a requirement.
A staff cadet training can be very challenging and demanding, with long hours. You will be expected to set the example at all times for your subordinates. For this reason staff cadets must be at least sixteen years of age and at least a PO3. 
Staffing Navy League Orientation does meet one of the requirements for appointment to Chief Petty Officer.
Sea bag requirements are the same as Fort Custer Training Sea Bag List. 
If you are interested in staffing at Fort Custer Training (FCT) or have any questions concerning FCT please contact the COTC, LCDR Lisa Stoyanovich at lstoyanovich@seacadets.org.
Staff cadets must register for Navy Shore, Other RX-MI-19. This is a one day staff cadet orientation and staff cadet leadership course. 
Staff Cadet check in is 1000 Friday 19 July, 2019.
Staff Cadets will be dismissed after the camp has been secured on Saturday 27 July, 2019. You will not be dismissed after Graduation. Last year we were done by 1400.  Exception is any cadet traveling commercial.
