The ORION Project, which was the code-name for SPARTAN-Is and their operations, was instrumental in one very important operation before the Human-Covenant war : Operation TREBUCHET.
Quoted from page 11 of Contact Harvest. as said by Johnson, during a raid:
"...marine had other, shorter and cruder names for rebels in this campaign - codenamed TREBUCHET - was designed to crush."
Wy would Johnson be part of something primarily carried out by high-level special forces and SPARTAN-Is, if he was not one of them?
Further, as pointed out by Halo: First Strike, Johnson has abnormally high endurance, strength and several other factors that stand out. Further, he is completely immune to Flood Infection - something that only SPARTANS are immune to, thanks to their physical agumentations, and neural enhancements. As pointed out by Doctor Hasely in First Strike, the "official" reason given for this is that Johnson has Borhen's Syndrome, whichs affects his mental and neural abilities, making it too hard for Flood to infection and control him. However, she notes that he denied treatment for this diease, even though it is almost always fatal within 15 years. The even odder part is this - that the "official" records show that Johnson would have had Borhen's Syndrome for almost 21 years at the time of First Strike - elminating the possibilty of that being the cause, and making all the more likely that he recieved augementations through the SPARTAN-I program.
Finally, if that isn't enough, the Halo Graphic novels, which are considered canon by Bungie, have a fairly clear and distinct panel in them wherein both the ORION PROJECT and Johnson are being discussed, with case files spread on a table shwoing Johnson under going fire exercises, and being described as a "success".
operation trebuchet was not a special operation for special soldiers such as spartans, it was the full military's campaign at that given time.
also, no where is there any reference to the spartans bein immune to the flood, when the cheif got bit by an infection form in halo the flood, the reason y he wasnt infected was because he pulled it out before the stinger or whatever the hell it was could insert itself properly, and thus john was not infected
also the spartan 1 project was shutdown in 2506 johnson was at least in his 20-30s in contact harvest and in his 50s in the games, now if he was a spartan 1 then he would have to be anywhere between80-90 years old by the events of halo 3 the timeline just doesnt add up
