As many as 50,000 military and civilian participants are expected for this year\u2019s 102nd installment of the event, which runs from July 17-20. The CAF normally sends 15 teams from across the country to the marches each year, and with only 11 spots available on each team, there\u2019s always competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">This year\u2019s MARLANT squad began with 45 potential team members, saw an initial drop off after the first month, and then settled into a core group of about 25 who completed the training marches, including back-to-back days of 40km treks around Halifax and Dartmouth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">When it came time to select the final team of 11, tough decisions had to be made.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cIt\u2019s really difficult when you come down to the end, because everybody completed the physical requirements. You have to start to look at the other criteria; it comes down to things like dedication and team spirit,\u201d said team leader Lt(N) Jacqueline Grykuliak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cWho sings marching songs? Who\u2019s a team player? Who helps others when they start to struggle? Those things come into play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">For Lt(N) Grykuliak herself, the trip has been on her mind for years. She started training in 2012 on the west coast and was selected as MARPAC team leader, but had to step away in the final weeks due to operational requirements. Since then, she\u2019s been waiting for the right moment to try again, and after a few practice marches with last year\u2019s team, she decided to go all in for 2018. It\u2019s required a great deal of dedication and time management, balancing the long training hours with work requirements and life as a single mom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cIt\u2019s very hard, but it\u2019s all worth it. Nijmegen is something you eat, sleep and breathe when you\u2019re training for it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The final MARLANT team includes seven men and four women representing all three CAF elements. For MCpl Kent Thistle, one of three Army members in the group, extensive marching experience has allowed him to offer tips and advice to the others, including boot suggestions and the most comfortable ways to wear their 10kg backpacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cI\u2019ve also normally been the very last guy at the back when we\u2019ve been marching, so if anybody is slowing down I could give them a push and hopefully get them motivated a little bit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Both his parents are Nijmegen alumni, having completed the marches with CAF teams almost 30 years ago, and the event has always been on his radar for that reason. He enjoys testing himself mentally and physically, and said the camaraderie of the team has made training enjoyable every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cEverybody\u2019s going to get a blister or get a little sore, that\u2019s alright. But everybody wants to be here, and we\u2019re talking and singing and we end up have a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Lt(N) Grykuliak said she has nothing but praise for the team, who have consistently shown professionalism and enthusiasm over the last three months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cWe marched in -18 C, we marched in torrential downpours; I was almost blown off the sidewalk in the dark at 6 in the morning. But these people keep showing up with smiling faces, ready to go. They\u2019re an incredible team\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2018 MARLANT Nijmegen team ready to march 160km By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff The training hours have been logged, the final team has been selected, and the 2018 MARLANT Nijmegen team are set to represent the CAF in the Netherlands later this month.
