The Great Ruck March Challenge: 05 0000 Apr 21 - 11 2359 Apr 21
Highlanders,
Last week we challenged the Lincoln and Welland Regiment to see which unit could cover the most ground in 7 days.
Although we put up an unbelievable fight, we were defeated.
As a Regiment, we covered an aggressive combined total of 2831.63 kms. Unfortunately, it was not enough to beat the Lincoln & Welland Regiment, who rucked an amazing 3014.64 kms!
The following should be considered, however:
We had 84 participants, while the Lincoln & Welland Regiment had 101 participants.
Many of us had already rucked hundreds of kilometres since November. We lost the battle, but not the war.
The display of esprit de corps, perseverance and dedication we each embodied speaks volumes about the commitment many of us have to the 48th Highlanders - may we remain faithful forever.
Here are the top 10 for last week:
1. MCpl Boyden - 109.70 kms
2. Capt Van der Toorn - 108.50 kms
3. LCol Alkema - 107.30 kms
4. MCpl Deurloo- 102.20 kms
5. MCpl Wang - 100.95 kms
6. Lt Fernandes - 100.20 kms
7. Cpl Melo - 74.10 kms
8. Pte Jackson - 69.61 kms
9. Cpl Mayer - 66.70 kms
10. Cpl Aguilar Viera - 61.60 kms
"I enjoyed this challenge because it built team and unit cohesion. Every member who participated was working toward a common goal and took pride in their fitness and their Regiment.
I want to thank Lt Fernandes for creating this awesome challenge, it inspired many members both serving and retired to remain fighting fit. This challenge helped motivate the regimental family to keep active and promoted physical and mental health during a time when people need it most.
Congratulations to the Lincoln and Welland regiment for winning the competition and I look forward to competing and working with you in the future."
- MCpl Boyden

Hey Troops,
Amazing effort so far this week! From the data that was collected, we are well ahead of the Lincoln and Welland Regiment in terms of total kilometers rucked. From the beginning of the week until 07 1200 Apr 21, we clocked 1,006 kms collectively, the Lincoln and Welland Regiment were at 685 kms. At noon today, we hit 1,380 kms! I briefed the CO, and here are his comments:
Highlanders -
Excellent work so far! Well done. This is the DILEAS Spirit that we keep talking about. However, we’re not done yet; the Lincoln and Welland are a competitive Unit and won't let us win without a fight. I encourage you to keep on rucking. We are better than halfway through, but there are still three days left. Lace up the boots, strap on your ruck, and let’s go.
DILEAS
CO
Let's keep the tempo high and maintain the initiative in order to force them to match our battle rhythm. With a bit more effort on your part, we will win this competition. Keep those rucks on, and boots laced up, we're nearly there!
Lt Brian K. J. Fernandes

Pte/ Sdt Katz
I grew up in housing projects my whole life so I always had the stereotype where it would be assumed I wouldn’t go anywhere but down wrong paths. This inspired me to always try to make myself the best person I can possibly be. I always wanted to be someone where I can prove that yes, I lived in bad neighborhoods but I was still able to make something of myself.
My inspiration to join the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) was, that on my dad’s side, there’s multiple generations that are former/current military – but all in the US. The experiences I’ve had in my little over a year in the CAF were beyond amazing. I grew brotherhoods with my course mates on Basic Training.
My Course Officer and Course Warrant have both helped me when I didn’t believe in myself and showed me that my limits are just imaginary boundaries I set for myself. I’m Private Recruit Katz with the 48th Highlanders and I’m beyond proud to wear this uniform!
🌟
J’ai grandi dans des logements abordables toute ma vie et on a toujours présumé que je ne ferais rien de ma vie. Cela m’a poussé à toujours essayer de faire de moi la meilleure personne possible. J’ai toujours voulu pouvoir prouver aux autres que bien qui j’ai grandi dans des quartiers défavorisés, j’ai réussi à faire quelque chose de ma vie.
J’ai voulu m’enrôler dans les Forces armées canadiennes (FAC), parce que du côté de mon père, ma famille compte plusieurs générations de militaires actifs ou d’anciens militaires, bien que tous aux États-Unis. Ce que j’ai vécu dans les FAC en un peu plus d’un an a été plus qu’extraordinaire. J’ai tissé des liens de confrérie avec mes camarades de cours pendant l’instruction élémentaire.
Mon officier de cours et mon adjudant de cours m’ont tous deux aidé lorsque je ne croyais pas en moi et m’ont montré que mes limites ne sont que des frontières imaginaires que je me fixe. Je suis le soldat (recrue) Katz du 48th Highlanders, et je suis extrêmement fier de porter cet uniforme!

As we continue our efforts to overcome this global pandemic and look forward to better days following vaccination, I invite all to ponder the meaning of the Easter message in their own lives. I wish and pray that all @canadianforces members and their loved ones may come to experience renewed life in the days and weeks to come. Happy Easter to all!
-Padre Michel DJ Dion, Division Chaplain, 4 Canadian Division Headquarters
Alors que nous poursuivons nos efforts pour vaincre cette pandémie mondiale et que nous attendons des jours meilleurs après la vaccination, j’invite chacun à réfléchir à la signification du message de Pâques dans sa propre vie. Je souhaite et je prie pour que tous les membres des @forcescanada et leurs proches puissent faire l’expérience d’une vie renouvelée dans les jours et les semaines à venir. Joyeuses Pâques à tous!
