FAQs

Here are some answers to some frequently asked questions I've been receiving! If you have any other questions please feel free to comment here or send me an e-mail!

1. How and when do I give you my miles?
If you have sent me an e-mail I most likely have sent you a mileage chart to track your own miles. If you would like one- please send me an e-mail. Be sure to be tracking your own miles. On the first of every month an e-mail will go out requesting your monthly miles also a notice will be posted here on the website. For example: On June 1st... an e-mail will be sent asking for your May Miles. (For those of you who got an early start in April- you will be able to include them... for those of you who have just begun- all miles are important and help- so please send what you have for that month no matter what.)

2. Do I have to live in 29 Palms to participate?
Absolutely NOT! You can be anywhere and participate! The more the merrier! We want to see how many times we can get to our loved ones and back! We are a diverse group from all over the country and you can do this program whether you are here or in Timbuktu. All you need are some good tennis shoes and a motivated heart.

3. I want a t-shirt! When and where can I get one?
T-shirts are in the works. Please be patient with me... as soon as they are finished you will be notified via e-mail and on this website.

4. Is this a fundraiser?
NO. This is not a fundraiser, the basic point is to show support for our Marines and Sailors and keep healthy while our men are away.

5. It's almost June- is it too late to join?
No- it is never too late to join. Any and all miles will help!! To request a registration form e-mail rantoafghanistan08@gmail.com

6. I don't like to run- do I have to run?!
No- you can walk, bike, swim, or run your way to Afghanistan... got something even more creative to chart your miles- lets hear it.

7. Do I have to be a wife to register? Can my parents join?
Any and all family members are welcome, as well as, friends and other sources of support for our guys are encouraged to join as well. As said before- the more the merrier! We want our Marines and Sailors of 2/7 to know we are thinking about them.
