To say that Johnathan was surprised to learn that at least two of his squad mates were born in Germany would have been something of an understatement, through when Izkry mentioned that they seemed to have spent a good deal of their childhoods in a 'government facility' he couldn't help but immediately picture some kind of laboratory... with a small children's area in a corner with some books and a few toys to make the mental image a little more colorful and less bleak. He didn't get the chance to say anything more as they made it outside and started their respective stretches. 

Standing at attention as he stood outside in front of Captain Stevens as the rest of the squad trickled in, Johnathan couldn't help but look on as the conversation about what sort of training they should be doing with a small degree of amusement. Personally he was all for physically improving his body; Exercise was good at any rate, but he had always found running to be rather relaxing and the run up and down Curahee to be an interesting challenge! 

The main complainer was clearly Oscar, who as far as he could tell was here because he got drafted and didn't want to have the MP's come and get him; This was not an acceptable attitude to have in someone whom was going to be watching his back and Johnathan quietly resolved to try and change that in the near future, but first he needed to motivate the Spaniard to stop complaining... and he couldn't help but smile a little playfully as he lightly teased "[color=8dc73f]It's alright to admit that you couldn't complete the run Oscar. After all, no man wants to look bad in front of two beautiful women.[/color]"
