After reading around a bit, I've noticed various references to "Johnson being a Spartan I" or "Since Master Chief was a Spartan II, who were the Spartan I's??!?!" etc, etc. Or hell, the best one, "Check out the Rookie's stats! He has to be a spartan!"

So... correct me if I'm wrong, but the Spartan I deal isn't some project they did. Johnson isn't a spartan I. Spartan I's were the original warriors of Sparta? I mean, in one of the books, the Spartan II trainees were shown footage of spartan warriors (of ancient greece) fighting off wolves.

You know... just saying. I mean, the sheer amount of theories is respectable, but still...

Project Orion was the Spartan I project.. not the original Spartans.

Johnson is a Spartan 1.

Uh. That was the point I was trying to make?

Johnsonn was a Spartan I.

Also, I think you misread because theres no way they couldve shown Spartan 2 trainee's footage of ancient Spartans fighting wolves because there wasnt any way to film them fighting wolves...

No, he's not too young.

Spartan II's were trained to be Spartans from the time they were small children.

Mispoke or misread. Probably the latter. I do recall holo sims of spartans fighting wolves that they were watching. Not footage. My mistake, in that regard.

Okay. That clears things up quite a bit for me. Thanks to you both.

Ancient Spartans weren't fighting wolves -_-...Deja taught about the Spartans fighting when vastly outnumbered, and during a seperate lesson, she taught about wolves' pack mentality.

EDIT: And I'd like to add that it would be more plausible that the rookie was a Spartan 1.5, though I still highly doubt it.
