Noir, thanks for the support, however there are many reasons that i rule out that JD was standard personal aboard the Lebanon. Here is is:
1) Message #11 enkidu says, " I didn't know that you could make covenant weapons do that much damage." Only a Spartan would be capable of using covenant weapons like this, plus, clear out a room full of covenant forces all alone.
2) Message #16 Captain Mathers says "Be careful up there. For all we know there could be a hundred Elites camped out on top of that platform. We just know that they haven't tried to open that door. Stay warm, and remember to watch for ammo misfeeds from the cold. Or maybe you don't need me to tell you that, "sailor". Only a spartan would go into a situation where ther could be hundres of Elites. Also only a weapons trained warrior would know about cold misfires in the cold weather. Mathers states he doesn't need to tell him this and calles him "sailor". Spartans are part of the Navy.
3) Message #17 Enkidu says to JD "Fleet Command doesn't matter anymore. Admirals don't matter anymore. If what I'm getting from the Covenant battlenet means anything there they don't even exist anymore. Yes, that's right. They found Reach and they glassed it. Two weeks ago, maybe more. So your precious orders don't matter." why would a mechanic or any other standard personel have special orders from Fleet Command? Only someone special with adequait training to carry out a special mission would have orders from such important people/institutions.
4) Message #18 Mathers says, "I've pushed a NAV point for you to help you get back to us. We need every able body we can get, and your training is badly needed. Don't rush, but get here as quickly as you can." I don't think that they are trying to fix/working on anything. Remember Mathers hooked up with LT.Demarais' group. they are the group that managed to unlock the doors and put Enkidu in the network. they obviously have the skills needed. however, they aren't really trying to do anything but survive now. They need a warrior to protect their asses who is specially trained in combat.
So definately JD is not a mechanic or anything else ordinary, Maybe some special ops guy, but most likely a Spartan.
