Staying connected during boot camp is a lifeline for recruits. Letters are a powerful source of motivation and a reminder of the support system waiting for them at graduation. Sandboxx understands this! We make sending physical letters to recruits simple and \u2013 completely free for recruiters through our app. With a few taps on your phone, you can include a motivational photo and message, all transformed into a professionally printed letter delivered straight to your recruit’s mail call.\u00a0 Never before has sending words of encouragement to boot camp been so quick and hassle-free!
\n\n\n\nWe recommend you connect your account with your recruits prior to their ship date to make writing even easier. However, if you\u2019re unable to do this, you can add your recruit\u2019s address to the app once you have it.
\n\n\n\nAt Sandboxx, we employ a consistent \u201c5-Check\u201d process for each Letter that we send to ensure that the words you type and the pictures you take get delivered to base worry-free.
\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s what you should expect the next time you use Sandboxx to send a Letter to your recruit.
\n\n\n\nThe Sandboxx app makes it as easy and convenient as possible to send a Letter from the palm of your hand, wherever you may be.
\n\n\n\nAs soon as you send your letter via the Sandboxx app, we verify the recipient\u2019s address. If any errors are found, we will notify you of these so corrections can be made.
\n\n\n\nAfter each letter is printed, we then use a machine that applies over 3,000 pounds of force to fold and seal it. Then, we sort it by Marines and Army Company, Air Force Flight, or Navy Ship.
\n\n\n\nThis marks our third check of the day and allows us to ensure that each base is able to quickly distribute the Letters upon delivery.
\n\n\n\nAfter we complete our last letter print of the day at 4:30 PM Eastern time, we check over the Letters to ensure each Letter is set to be shipped to the correct destination.
\n\n\n\nEach box of 1,000 letters is double-sealed and then dropped off at FedEx, our trusted shipping partner ensuring these important packages arrive at each base the following day.
\n\n\n\nPlease note that a letter with the delivery status of \u201cDelivered\u201d does not mean that your letter has reached your recruit\u2019s hands, but rather that your letter has reached the mailroom on base and is waiting to be distributed to your recruit.

There are a lot of misconceptions and confusion around the military\u2019s newest branch, the United States Space Force (USSF). Yes, it is real. And people are actively working to support the U.S. military\u2019s mission to keep Americans safe and have been long before the USSF existed. If you are considering military service you should consider the USSF and see if it is right for you. Picking the right military branch when joining the military is an important step. And skipping over a branch of the service because you don\u2019t know a lot about it could lead to a missed opportunity for you. There are a lot of opportunities within the USSF’s innovative branch and as the world changes the demand for those with a background in Space may give you opportunities for a career after military service.
\n\n\n\nBefore talking about what the USSF is, we should probably cover what it isn\u2019t. If you have dreams of space travel and exploration you will have to head over to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) because that is still under their control. If becoming an astronaut is a goal in your future look into becoming a fighter pilot in the Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Army. The U.S. Space Force won\u2019t have you blasting out of earth\u2019s atmosphere. Instead, your role in the Space Force will be on planet Earth. Most often working with satellites either primarily through designing, monitoring, and launching.
\n\n\n\nWhat does this mean for you as a potential Guardian? Guardian is what the Space Force calls its members. It comes from the original motto when the U.S. Air Force Space Command was established in 1983, \u201cGuardians of the High Frontier.\u201d Not, the movie Guardians of the Galaxy. There is an idea that the USSF steals pop culture references for their design and nomenclature. But the truth is that what actually happened is that pop culture took references from the early days of space exploration and used them in their logos and design. So when you see the delta and think of Star Trek, it actually comes from as far back as 1961 when it was first used within the Space community.
\n\n\n\nBut besides knowing about the symbols and history of the Space Force you also need to know about their mission. While the Space Force has their mission clearly laid out on its website it doesn\u2019t do a good job of explaining what they do to those outside of the space arena. One of the problems with helping people understand the U.S. Space Force is how much of the work the USSF does is classified. Meaning members of the general public are not allowed to know a lot of what the USSF does because of national security concerns. But that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t talk about the work being done. There are a number of things the USSF does that are completely unclassified.
\n\n\n\nThe Space Force is responsible for launching, maintaining, and monitoring the U.S. fleet of satellites. While there are a number of classified systems there are also a number of unclassified systems and some of those we use in our daily life. One of the ones that people use and don\u2019t realize it is connected to the USSF is the Global Positioning System or GPS. GPS is used by the military but it is also open and available for use by the general public across the world. Companies like Google and Apple use GPS satellites to help you get to your destination. Other satellites built and maintained by the Space Force are Weather Satellites, Communication Satellites, the Defense Missile Warning System, and more.
\n\n\n\nIf you are technically minded and interested in a career that will give you the opportunity to be involved in what the U.S. is doing to protect its Space assets at home and circling around the globe you should consider the USSF. Originally, Guardians trained alongside Airmen for Basic Training but as of 2022 Space Force members complete their own training still located at Joint Base San Antonio. Officers still primarily commission through AF ROTC or the Air Force Academy, but as things continue to evolve and grow it may change. Make sure to talk to a Space Force recruiter to get the most up-to-date information.

At Sandboxx, we believe the men and women of our armed forces, from the recruit on the first day of boot camp, deserve to be connected to the resources and services that help them navigate and make the most out of their military journeys. To help with this, we created Waypoints\u2014a military messaging and community app. Waypoints is a place where you can connect with each other, share information and meet your mission. It\u2019s easy to use, improves communication and does exactly what you need it to do\u2014and nothing more.
\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https://www.sandboxx.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/waypoints-1-1024x683.png\")
Our focus is on simplifying and consolidating communication for recruiters and recruits, and giving you the tools you need to make your job a little easier each day. Joining the military is a big decision, and Waypoints can help ease the transition for recruits, get them more prepared for basic training and increase retention throughout their enlistment journey.
\n\n\n\nTo help build this new tool, we\u2019ve taken direct feedback from recruiters, recruits and commanders and given you the tools, content and resources you need to help meet your mission. We understand the limitations of current recruiting tools from both experience and user feedback. We\u2019ve taken all of that into account when building the platform. Here is what we learned from you:
\n\n\n\nWaypoints lives in the existing Sandboxx app, so you don\u2019t have to download anything new. Quickly view a summary of your recruits so you know who needs a follow-up and message each recruit at once.
\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https://www.sandboxx.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1-559x1024.png\")
Waypoints flags recruits who are missing paperwork or key tasks, this way you know which individuals may be at greater risk of falling behind.
\n\n\n\nThousands of recruits already use Sandboxx to prepare for Basic Training. With Waypoints, you can access exclusive articles to share directly with recruits and their families to motivate, educate and inspire them.
\n\n\n\nWe have the tools your team needs. Help recruits mentally and physically prepare for what lies ahead at basic training. We have everything from training guides, packing lists and more.
\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https://www.sandboxx.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/waypoints-3-559x1024.png\")
With the ability to chat 1-on-1 or create group chats, you can bring a sense of communityand support to recruiting. Great things can happen as recruits begin to interact daily with recruiters and each other.
\n\n\n\nWaypoints is built by service members and Veterans, for service members and Veterans. We have 100+ years of combined military service at Sandboxx and a majority of that is in recruiting, retention and initial entry training. Most communication tools are built for everyone, but Waypoints is built for you.

IT CAN FLAG ISSUES BEFORE RECRUITS FALL BEHIND\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWaypoints flags recruits who are missing paperwork or key tasks, this way you know which individuals may be at greater risk of falling behind.\n\n\n\n3. THOUSANDS OF RECRUITS ARE ALREADY IN THE APP\n\n\n\nThousands of recruits already use Sandboxx to prepare for Basic Training. With Waypoints, you can access exclusive articles to share directly with recruits and their families to motivate, educate and inspire them.\n\n\n\n4. WAYPOINTS COMES WITH HANDY TOOLS TO HELP RECRUITS PREPARE FOR TRAINING\n\n\n\nWe have the tools your team needs. Help recruits mentally and physically prepare for what lies ahead at basic training.

When you\u2019re considering joining the military, it\u2019s important to look at all your options. That means meeting with multiple recruiters from different branches and processing a lot of information.
\n\n\n\nOne important note to keep in mind: Just because you talk to a recruiter doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re obligated to join. Speaking with a military recruiter is an information-gathering process for you and them.
\n\n\n\nBy reading up on each branch and talking with anyone you know who has military experience, you\u2019ll feel more comfortable walking into a recruiting office. Even if you don\u2019t do that before you go, you should still be able to have all your questions answered.
\n\n\n\nIf the military recruiter doesn\u2019t know an answer, he or she should be able to find out and get back to you.
\n\n\n\nA few tips to keep in mind before you go:
\n\n\n\nWhen you decide it\u2019s time to see a military recruiter, being prepared for the meeting will make quite the impression. Like a job interview, you want to put your best foot forward. Yes, they need you, but regardless of that fact, it\u2019s important to start the relationship off as professional as possible.
\n\n\n\nWhat shouldn\u2019t you wear to the recruiting office?
\n\n\n\nBusiness casual \u2014 like a polo and slacks or a nice blouse and skirt \u2014 are appropriate apparel to wear for meeting with a military recruiter.
\n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t need to show up in a suit, but putting some effort into your appearance goes a long way in showing you actually care about presentation \u2014 a habit you\u2019ll need to get into anyway if you plan to join the military.
\n\n\n\nIf you set a time to meet a military recruiter, be courteous and show up at that time. Prove you\u2019re reliable and a person of your word by arriving at the time you said you would. It shows you respect your own time and that of the person you\u2019re meeting. Plus, every aspect of military life is about showing up right on time, making it a good habit to start now.
\n\n\n\nAside from being on time, be sure to bring:
\n\n\n\nToo many potential recruits don\u2019t take the first meeting seriously enough. Show up on time, dress appropriately, and have the right materials in hand. It will make your meeting go smoother and you\u2019ll also get more out of it.
\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https://www.sandboxx.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/talking-to-recruiter.jpg\")
Before you go into the recruiting office, have a list of questions you\u2019ve prepared to ask. If you advance through the process, other questions will likely pop up along the way. Always keep a notebook or note app on your phone that you can access at any time to add questions as you think of them.
\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s a list to get you started:
\n\n\n\nThese are basic starting points to steer the initial conversations with a military recruiter. Come up with your own list of questions, too, based on what\u2019s important to you and your career direction. Write them down as you think of them so you don\u2019t forget to ask when you\u2019re at the recruiting office!
\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https://www.sandboxx.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/joining-the-navy.jpg\")
Every branch has its own way of processing recruits. No matter which branch you plan to enlist in, the first step is always to connect with a local military recruiter who can walk you through the process.
\n\n\n\nGenerally, here\u2019s what to expect:
\n\n\n\nYou\u2019ll meet your point of contact for the branch you\u2019re interested in. At this point, you\u2019ll learn about the eligibility requirements and if you can join based on a preliminary screening. Depending on the size of the recruiting office, this person will be the one you speak with each and every time you make an inquiry.
\n\n\n\nAfter you meet with several recruiters \u2014 or just one if your heart is set on a particular branch \u2014 then you\u2019ll meet with your recruiter again to determine if you\u2019re eligible based on other standards. This is the time when you\u2019ll choose between active duty or reserve. At this point, you\u2019ll also need to turn over important identifying paperwork that can move the process forward, including:
\n\n\n\nGet ready to start tracking down all your medical records. This is quite a process sometimes since healthcare providers have to process it and comply with HIPAA laws, too. You\u2019ll need your primary doctor\u2019s notes, along with the charts from any specialists or surgeons you\u2019ve seen, too.
\n\n\n\nYou\u2019ll need to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, also known as the ASVAB. This exam determines your eligibility to enlist. It\u2019s not an IQ test; it\u2019s merely a way of screening new recruits. The final score determines what jobs you can qualify for along with if you\u2019ll be a success in the military. Read more about the ASVAB and what to expect here.
\n\n\n\nIn the meantime, you\u2019ll also receive an in-depth medical exam to ensure you\u2019re in prime physical health. At this point, you\u2019ll be advised of any medical conditions (like obesity) that may hinder your enlistment process.
\n\n\n\nOnce you have a passing ASVAB score and all your medical paperwork has cleared, you\u2019re ready to sign your contract. It\u2019s important to read every line of your contract to make sure everything is correct. Typos and fact errors should be pointed out at this time.
\n\n\n\nDepending on your prior obligations, you may have to wait a bit before you head off to basic training. Once you\u2019re ready to head off to basic training, you\u2019ll be declared eligible for service and will take an oath of enlistment.
\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https://www.sandboxx.us/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/army-recruiter.jpg\")
Recruiting professionals usually work in offices, but often they\u2019ll make appearances at job fairs and high schools, too. If you have an interest in joining the military, talk to them as soon as you get the opportunity.
\n\n\n\nEach recruiter has their own perspective and way of presenting information, which is why it\u2019s a good idea to talk to as many different ones as possible before making your final decision.
\n\n\n\nNext time you\u2019re out and about in your area, look for a recruiting office. There\u2019s usually one in every county. Each branch also has a recruiting office location listing online that you can narrow down by zip code.
\n\n\n\nYou can find a recruiting office location for each of the branches at the links or by calling the phone numbers listed below:

Before joining the military, it\u2019s smart to get as much information as possible. A military recruiter is one person to extract a lot of details about the military entry process.
\n\n\n\nWho else can you talk to?
\n\n\n\nTalking with others will give you an interesting perspective that you might not have thought about. Most vets and service members won\u2019t sugarcoat military life, either, so it\u2019s good to get an honest opinion about all the aspects of military work and life.
\n\n\n\nUntil you live it, though, you won\u2019t know if it\u2019s for you. If joining the military is even vaguely inspiring, stop in to see a military recruiter. You can at least educate yourself about the process and what it takes to join.
\n\n\n\nAs you get ready to go see a military recruiter, be prepared to intake a lot of new information. This isn\u2019t a decision you\u2019ll want to make lightly, so spending time prepping and gather your thoughts before you go is a good idea. The more prepared you are going in, the more confident you\u2019ll feel during the process.
\n\n\n\nTips to keep in mind:
\n\n\n\nKeep in mind that the recruiter\u2019s goal is to \u201csell\u201d you on the military life. A good recruiter will answer all your questions and give you information on both active duty options (enlisted and officer) and reserve details, too.
\n\n\n\nYou want to make sure it\u2019s a good fit for you, so think it over for a few days if you\u2019re still unsure. There\u2019s no need to rush a decision that will impact the next several years of your life!

This will help guide the conversation toward the best career options for you. \n\n\n\n\n\nTalk about your health – If you have a serious health condition, don\u2019t try hiding it. Ask your recruiter about disqualifying conditions. Don\u2019t risk your health or life by trying to sneak it past your recruiter or military doctors. \n\n\n\n\n\nFollow-up – If you\u2019re serious about joining the military, follow-up on your recruiting process. Get the right medical paperwork, fill out all the forms on time, and take your ASVAB as soon as you can. It will get your military career started much faster. \n\n\n\n\nKeep in mind that the recruiter\u2019s goal is to \u201csell\u201d you on the military life.
