Send letters, photos, newsletters, gift cards, and more to your recruit from anywhere, anytime. Get delivery updates, weekly training updates and build a community of support to help your recruit through training.
In most cases, we’ll update your recruit’s address when they register at basic training.
This means it’s already preloaded and once you download the app, you verify your connection to them and just start writing.
There’s no need to print anything — that’s our job. When you’re done writing, add your photos.
With Sandboxx+, you can send 4 photos per letter. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Add a weekly newsletter to keep your recruit motivated and informed and send stamps so they’re not worried about postage.
Exchange gift cards help ease the financial burden while they’re in training and let them focus on training, not banking.
Once you are done, we take care of the rest.
Submit your letter by 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday and we ensure next-day delivery to your recruit’s basic training or bootcamp mailroom.
Letters are sent via FedEx directly to the mailroom on base. The base mailroom distributes them to the boot camp units.
Any Letter to non-basic training addresses will be sent via USPS First Class Mail.
You will get weekly updates on what they are going through in basic training that week.
Here’s a sample – “During the past few weeks your recruit has been learning about standing a proper watch, seamanship, firefighting, and damage control, and has been working hard to become physically stronger.”
Create a support squad so their friends can keep in touch and follow their journey.
Donate your letter credits to the squad and ensure your recruit is receiving the moral support they need.
