Does anybody know why Bungie decided to make the hero a Navy man? All of the troops around him are Marines, but he's not. It doesn't make any sense to me and it's been bugging me for a while now.

First of all, he's called master chief because his rank is "Master Chief Petty Officer" (i know, kind of an oxymoron huh?) which is a REAL Navy rank equavilant to a Major in the Marines. Yes, he and the rest of the spartans are "swabbies" (slang for someone in the Navy). It's also obvious because in Fall Of Reach, there is a point in which he is wearing a white dress uniform. Only the Navy dress uniform is white. The Marines' is a light brown (the Marines also have a Ceremonional dress uniform which is dark blue).

He's is also Called Master Chief because, he was the last Spartan and all the other prototypes of him were destroyed in the 1st Halo and he was the 1st succesful one to enter the battle against the covenants in order to destroy them.

He is one of a kind. There is in modern day, a navy rank, called master chief. Its the highest rank possible and there is only one master chief. At a time. Thats probably why.

Spartan arnt Cyborg. The armor just makes them seem like it. spartan are actual geneticly enhanced.

the spartan 2 and 3 program are run by the navy. The spartan were trained by a marine gone navy. They realy got marine training from the navy. The spartan got more training than eving the ODST, but not much.
Doesnt "Master Chief" sound so much better than The other stuff?

There are no crappers aboard the Enterprise! And no water in the showers!
If you can FIND a crapper, fall in at leisure.
