The Sponsorship and You: Sponsorship Awareness and eSponsorship Courses

Overview

Permanent changes of station can be a challenge in military life, and getting settled after a move can be an adventure. Let the military sponsorship program help make your transition as easy as possible.

Sponsors are trained service-members who help newcomers settle into a new duty station. Sponsors are available to all military families, no matter where you are moving. They are assigned through your unit, and usually have the same rank and family status as you do, so they can more easily understand your particular needs and help you get settled.

Military OneSource provides the following two training courses to help you take advantage of the sponsorship program.
