 Are you PCS-ing soon? Has your sponsor contacted you? Having a sponsor can play a crucial role in easing a new sailor's arrival into the next command. Knowing what to expect at a new duty station and having a personal contact can mean the difference between a good PCS move and a bad one. The Navy Sponsorship Program works to give sailors a positive first impression during relocation. Fleet and family support centers around the globe offer Navy Sponsored Training to teach qualified sailors how to build rapport and trust with new arrivals through shared interests. From pre-arrival through check-in and beyond, sponsors serve as the bridge to a sailor's new duty station and promote the time-honored tradition of the military taking care of its own. To learn more about the Command Sponsorship Program, contact your local Fleet and Family Support Center.
