The Brave Daily FAQ
Quick answers about how Brave Daily works: signup, daily texts, STOP and START, pricing, and privacy. Can't find what you need? Emailhello@thebravedaily.com.
Question 1
What is Brave Daily?
Brave Daily is a paid daily text service for parents, partners, and loved ones of recruits in boot camp. Brave Daily is operated by QUIZ CORE. Each message gives one calm, plain-English brief about what the recruit is likely experiencing in training and why limited contact is normal.
Question 2
Where are you based, and which numbers do you support?
The Brave Daily is based in the United States. Daily briefs are available to U.S. mobile numbers only, including any second recipient you add.
Question 3
Why might a Brave Daily text be missing?
Wireless carriers use automated security filters to protect customers from spam and unwanted messages. Verizonās filters can be especially strict and may occasionally block legitimate Brave Daily updates containing military-training terminology. Weāre sorry for any missed messageāplease contact us if an expected update doesnāt arrive, and weāll help provide it another way.
Question 4
When does my first brief arrive after checkout?
After checkout, your number is queued for activation. Once that finishes, your first daily brief arrives at the standard morning send time. If the recruit ships in the future, daily briefs begin on the ship date you entered. If you have not seen a message within 24 hours of the expected start, email hello@thebravedaily.com and we will look into it.
Question 5
What does a daily brief look like?
Short. A few lines you can read with one hand. Each brief explains the likely training-day context and gives one steady reminder for the family. The goal is to reduce rumor-chasing, not add another app or task list.
Question 6
How accurate is each brief? Is this exactly what my recruit is doing?
Each brief follows the official published training schedule for your recruit's depot - Parris Island, SC, or San Diego, CA - matched to the ship date you enter. It reflects the typical, scheduled day for that point in the cycle, not a live report on your specific recruit. Actual days can shift for weather, holidays, or training adjustments, so treat each brief as informed context, not confirmation. Brave Daily is not affiliated with the Marine Corps and has no access to individual recruit records.
Question 7
What training window does Brave Daily cover?
Brave Daily covers one 13-week training cycle, from ship day through the final training weeks. Signup accepts ship dates up to 90 days in the future or within the active training window so families can start at the right point.
Question 8
Do I need an app?
No. Brave Daily comes through standard SMS. Nothing to install, log into, or update. If your U.S. mobile number gets text messages, you're set.
Question 9
How much does it cost?
$24 one time. Payments are processed by Stripe, our payment partner. The price shown at checkout covers the 13-week daily brief service for up to two recipients. Standard message and data rates from your carrier may apply.
Question 10
How do I stop the daily texts?
Reply STOP to any Brave Daily message. The daily texts will end for that phone number and you will receive a single confirmation from your carrier. You will not get any more messages unless you opt back in.
Question 11
How do I start the texts again after stopping?
Reply START to the same number you were receiving briefs from. If the paid 13-week cycle is still active for that phone number, messages can resume. If you changed phones or cannot find the number, email hello@thebravedaily.com and we will help.
Question 12
Is there a recurring charge to cancel?
No. Brave Daily is a one-time payment for the 13-week brief service. Replying STOP ends SMS delivery for that number, and there is no monthly charge afterward.
Question 13
How do I change my phone number?
Email hello@thebravedaily.com with your old number and the new one. Brave Daily supports up to two recipients for a paid cycle.
Question 14
What if I need help?
Two options: reply HELP to any Brave Daily message for a quick automated response with support info, or email hello@thebravedaily.com any time. A real person reads it and gets back to you.
Question 15
Is my information safe?
Brave Daily collects only what is needed to provide the service: recipient phone numbers, the recruit's ship date and training depot, and limited consent, payment, and technical records. We do not collect information that identifies the recruit. Ship date and depot are general schedule details shared by groups of recruits and are not connected to a named recruit profile. Your signup and daily-brief information is stored in the U.S. Information is protected using industry-standard cybersecurity practices, including encryption at rest and in transit. We never sell or rent personal information or share mobile information for third-party marketing. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Question 16
Where does Brave Daily content come from?
Brave Daily messages are built around a 13-week training-cycle outline and plain-language family support. Content is informational and general; it is not official military communication, operational advice, legal advice, medical advice, or a substitute for direct guidance from the recruit's chain of command.
