Company Summary
Sandboxx simplifies military lifestyle because it is built around the social structure of our heroes and their families. Our members connect around the units in which they serve(d) (including family/friends) and via letters to those who have no digital capability, off-the-grid. Sandboxx is a digital version of our physical culture because our journey in the military puts us off-the-grid at times and is centered around the units we serve.
