Bb8/00 it's sandboxx with two "x's". Here's the link: https://www.sandboxx.us It appears to be an app that you need to download.
I got my daughters Baby G on Amazon, just typed in Baby G-Shock and viola! If you have color options go with black that way then can wear it without question.

Something about being quicker then writing letters. Where can I look to find one of those watches? Thank you for the help.

Bb8/00 those first weeks are hard. I think I cried every day too. You're in good company here, we all understand completely so go ahead and vent or cry here! I got the form letter with the address about a week after I got the box. I'd think it should be along soon.
A Baby G-Shock is a super cool watch that does everything but shine their boots :). Seriously, it has so many functions that my daughter has not clue what all it does. It does keep track of multiple time zones so if they figure out how to use that it's helpful.
Where are you seeing references to the sandbox? Generally that relates to Iraq, you know the desert. At least that's what my nephew tells me and he's in the Army. Not sure how that applies to the Navy. Anna, any clue here?

Happy Monday ladies!
Jennifer, I bought the Baby G Shock on Amazon, like JayDee I don't think there were many options but if there are, choose black!
Sending you a hug navymom2T. We've been there and are still standing! Write to her and # your letters so that when you get her address you can send them. They love getting mail from home!!! P.S. - don't send them in a large manila env tho, I made that mistake, it's considered a package. My girl had to open it in front of her chief. Thankfully she didn't get in trouble but I learned my lesson!

No, I haven't been able to talk to her yet. We've only received the "I made it to BC" call.

Hi Stephanie... I bought my daughter a cross necklace from James Avery. She was told by her Recruiter that she would be allowed to keep her cross while in Bootcamp.

Jennifer I'm glad to hear that she got her things back. It's sad that some of these kids just don't have boundaries
