What is The Dispatch: Weekly Newsletters?
The Dispatch: Weekly Newsletter is a weekly newsletter sent on Wednesdays.
Curated by the Sandboxx editorial team from Sandboxx News, we provide unique weekly content delivered to your recruit using the same next-day delivery system as our Letters product.
Sandboxx News is our media site that contains the latest news, entertainment, and motivation from all around the force, dedicated to making a well-rounded 21st-century warfighter.
Articles are apolitical and authored by veterans, military spouses, and some active duty service members.
On Duty vs. Off Duty - what’s the difference?
The On Duty newsletter features a variety of military news and educational reading geared toward a successful military career.
The Off Duty newsletter features current event topics and entertainment related to the military.
