At Sandboxx we are always working hard to listen to our Sandboxx customers and Sandboxx families. In this series, learn more about people who utilize Sandboxx to stay connected with their recruits and trainees. Here is Brooke’s story about how Sandboxx helped her stay connected with her recruit:

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your recruit or your recent graduate. Where are you from? Which branch of the military is your recruit in?

My recruit and I are from Michigan and we are both recent High School graduates who are boyfriend and girlfriend. My recruit"s branch is the Marines.

2. How did sending letters with Sandboxx help you connect and stay in touch with your recruit during basic training?

Sending letters with Sandboxx helped me feel closer to my recruit. It made me feel like he was still here with me. I am able to send pictures with my letters and it makes the letter more fun.

3. How did you first hear about Sandboxx? After using it for a while, what do you think about Sandboxx?

I heard about Sandboxx through my recruit's Sergeant. After using Sandboxx for a while, I found the app very convenient and easy to use.

4. Any plans for your recruit after basic training? What’s next for you or for them?

My recruit will further their career in Marine reserves in which ever job they choose to do. I will further my education at Oakland University.
