======somewhere on planet Toledo roughly 4-10 klicks from the enlisted barracks 2 hours before dawn====
the cold crisp winter air nipped at jims exposed body parts ,some would call him a fool but he was used to it,as he adjusted his tank top and hoodie and a pair of snow cammo bdus,and a rifle across his chest.,his own Colorado winter accustomed body keeping him more then warm in the surprisingly hot pre-dawn light 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
he was running running hard and fast,his daily training routine was 2 hours into its progress he had about a 90 pound rucksack on so far he had run 5 kilometers on top of 45 push-ups and 30 pull-ups and 3 sets of 5 up-downs totaling 15.
his car a heavily modified light tactical vehicle in the distance on base.
he prided himself on 3 core things, physical fitness. personal honor and die hard commitment at 28 years old he was in his prime muscular yet built a powerful six foot one two hundred and thirty-five pounds of Marine trained soldier gone order agent.
when the run finished he sat leaning on his vehicle as the Toledo sun rose hopeful that something would be asked of him because as he sat there he finally realized that while peaceful.... order life could be boring as hell.
