Sponsor and Indoctrination

The Sponsorship and Indoctrination Program provides incoming personnel with meaningful pre-arrival communication, adequate support upon arrival and relocation assistance to meet the Sailor's needs. 

The goal of the program is to facilitate a smooth transition and assimilation into the new command.  Per OPNAVINST 1740.3 (Series), NAVPERSCOM (PERS-45) shall display Command Sponsor Coordinator (CSC) contact information in PCS orders.

Command Master Chiefs shall oversee the Command Sponsor Program and ensure sponsor coordinators' names are provided to NPC.

In order for NPC to obtain and to keep current/accurate POC information, we need the help from every command in the FLEET.  A few tips:

* Log onto the NPC web-site at (www.npc.navy.mil)

* Click on - "Career Information" located at the top of the page.

* Click on - "Sponsorship & Indoc Program"

* Go to OPNAVINST 1740.3 (Series)
