Philosophy and philology is my game.
Dutch is heavy weapons, Mickey is explosives, Romeo is sniping, Dare is fighting with a pistol, and Buck is leading. So what does rook specialize in?
Firstly, I really don't think that Dare can specialise in just sidearms, as her superiors would laugh at her and not take her seriously as a soldier or agent; not to mention how she would have learnt to handle all standard human infantry equipment by default upon completion of military training, as well as need-to-know experience with the Covenant's arsenal and salvaged technology.
If anything, the lady would be a specialist agent, so therefore the likes of espionage, C.Q.C, Interrogation and computer infiltration.
That little rant aside, I think that given his mis-leading codename (if you've watched the trailer for ODST where Buck was giving a monologue on his team, he makes it clear that Rookie is in fact an experienced commando who has fought the Covenant and lived to tell the tale. His muted personality was explained by his trauma ( which really just made for excellent and streamlined gameplay on the firefight modes without the really bad personalities of the unlockable team shouting "Hell yeah!" and "Gave you an extra nose hole!" every three seconds).
Still, I reckon hes a jack-of-all-traded, master-of-none kind of character; much like the Chief in that respect.
