<p>I have three groups of family members(my uncle and his family, my cousin and her family, and another cousin and her parents) who live in Colorado Springs. Would it be possible for one of these families to be my sponsor family and if so should I try to make it that way, or should I go with a family that the Academy happens to find for me.</p>
<p>Not sure why you would need a sponsor family in your case. It' mostly for those who have no relatives close by. You simply want a place you're comfortable hanging out at when not at the Academy. Also, you wouldn't want to "take" a family that could be used by someone else. They are not unlimited.</p>
<p>Does everyone end up with a sponsor family? Are cadets assigned one or must you request one? And is it only for 4 digs?</p>
<p>We all have sponsor families. You just have them put in a request for you, and you will also when you get here. Then they become your official sponsor family.</p>
<p>Exactly. Everyone has to technically have a sponsor family. For me, it happens that old family friends of mine live here and are my sponsors. For those who live here, their parents are their sponsors.</p>
