How to Send Letters to Service Members after Boot Camp using Sandboxx
Sandboxx makes it easy to stay connected with your service member throughout their military career, including during Advanced Individual Training (AIT), Tech School, School of Infantry (SOI), and A School. Below, we outline the key steps and considerations for sending letters during AIT.
Overview of Sandboxx Letter Services

Letters can be sent to military addresses, including APO, FPO, and DPO addresses overseas.

Obtaining the Correct Address for Locations outside of Boot Camp
