Sponsor Program
Your sponsor is a member assigned from your reporting command who should contact you early in the transfer process to provide unit specific details and person-to-person support (especially during the first weeks after arrival). Your sponsor should greet you at the airport and assist you with the check-in process. If underway, your Sponsor should have arranged for someone else to help you until he/she returns to port.

Child Care Information
There are lots of options for childcare, but two primary Coast Guard-specific programs:
Requests for childcare through the military system must be submitted through the centralized Military Childcare system at www.militarychildcare.com. Please note that many military childcare centers have a wait list based on priority. The wait for infant care is usually the longest. Make your request for care as soon as possible.
An alternative to the military childcare system is the use of the USCG Childcare Subsidy, which is based on family income. You must find your own provider and supply the provider's license information to GSA as part of your application, along with financial documents (Earning Statement, tax return info, etc). More info can be found at the GSA's subsidy website.
To find a licensed provider, go to childcareaware.org or naccrra.org - Type in your zip code, answer a few questions, and you will find the contact info for your local child care referral agency.
