Your Marine survived boot camp, and now they’re heading to the School of Infantry West (SOI-W) at Camp Pendleton, California. This next phase is where they transition from recruit to Marine, learning the skills and discipline that will define their career. As a family, understanding what happens at SOI-W and what your Marine needs to bring can make a real difference in how smoothly this transition goes. SOI-W is the follow-on training every Marine attends after boot camp.

Sandboxx Community You didn’t sign up for the sidelines. When your service member shipped, joined, or raised their hand, you made a quiet decision to show up for them, fully, and in every way you could. Community Pro is built for exactly that.

Service members and military families are frequent targets for identity theft—especially during PCS moves, deployments, and major life transitions. One of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself is by freezing your credit. A credit freeze prevents criminals from opening new accounts in your name. It’s free, takes only a few minutes to set up, and puts you in full control of who can access your credit.

From all of us at Sandboxx, thank you for making this year unforgettable. We wish you a joyful holiday season and a strong start to 2026. When we first envisioned a digital home for military families and supporters, we hoped it would become a space filled with encouragement, pride, and belonging. What has unfolded this year has been even more special than we imagined.

Starting this newsletter during the month of Thanksgiving feels especially meaningful as we pause to reflect on what we are most grateful for. November invites us to slow down and savor the beauty found in both the simple and extraordinary moments of life — the smiles shared around a table, the comfort of a cozy drink on a crisp morning, the joy of time spent with loved ones, and the profound gift of freedom that our service members protect every day.
