An early morning workout kept Charles in shape. Up at 4am for a jog around the campus before it got too busy. The jog wasn’t meant to be his full workout but rather a warm up. Something to get him limbered up and heart rate up for the day. So after a quick 20 minute jog, he went to the gym on base. He then spent the next 40 minutes working out. Mainly body weight exercises like push ups, sit ups, pull ups and squats. He preferred to train for sheer volume early in the morning as opposed to lifting heavy weights. That’s not to say he doesn’t train with weights, but normally does it three times a week in the afternoon in addition to the morning training. 
All in all, Charles Mallette was showered and back in his room by 5:10am. So he was dressed and ready to go at 5:20 when Myron Makraig knocked on his door to gather the members of Task Force Obsidian. 

Charles was out the door in trousers and a button down. As a private contractor he didn’t do uniforms anymore. 
Listening to a couple of the others chat while they walked. An American and an Englishman by the accents. He sifted through his mind of the personnel files of the other members. He made it a habit to remain up to date on information. So after a bit of research when they arrived he at least knew names and organisations of the other members. So American and Englishman were Griffin and Rangel. “We are at war. I assume we are getting a new mission.”
