About Us

I am a former Marine that LOVES the Corps! Ever since I left in 2000, I have tried to find ways to give back to the institution that had given so much to me (and still does to this day). For a while that meant volunteering with the Marine Corps League, and it also meant serving as a spouse who willingly supported my husband when he volunteered to serve in Iraq.

The concept for this site came to me each time I would hop on the highway for a long weekend and I would look around and see so many vehicles with DOD stickers getting on the highway too. I would think, 'how many of these people are heading in the same direction I am and why can't we find a way to hook up and ride together?' Now, finally, 10 years later I am making that thought a reality with MilitaryRideShare.com. It is my hope that Marines, Sailors, AirMen, Soldiers and their dependent families will be able to utilize this site to find other military members who are going in the same direction, ride together, and hopefully save some green.

Thanks for checking me out! Please send a link to all your friends. The more people that are using this site, the better the odds you'll find the ride you're looking for!
