Hello, I'm staff sergeant Stettles.

00:06.450 --> 00:08.910
I'm one of the cadres
at Replacement Company.

00:08.910 --> 00:12.283
Where we in-process over
150 soldiers each week.

00:13.494 --> 00:15.390
Sponsorship is really
important to everyone.

00:15.390 --> 00:17.770
Especially the soldiers who are PCSing.

00:17.770 --> 00:19.730
Because if you have a sponsor

00:19.730 --> 00:21.200
you feel like you're a part of the team

00:21.200 --> 00:23.860
even before you arrive on the island.

00:23.860 --> 00:25.350
You can tell a big difference

00:25.350 --> 00:27.420
with the soldiers who have a sponsor

00:27.420 --> 00:29.760
and the soldiers who don't have a sponsor.

00:29.760 --> 00:33.090
And it actually sets the tone
for the rest of their career.

00:33.090 --> 00:35.690
We're a team and when you have a sponsor

00:35.690 --> 00:38.120
you know that you are a part of a team.

00:38.120 --> 00:40.625
And that makes the biggest difference.
