But in TPOA, right after Carter dies (this is the line that gets me) Emile says "Let's go Six" in a very stern manner.
He and Jun both are Warrant Officers. Noble 6 is a Lieutenant. You most certainly outrank both of them.I have brought up this same problem before, but while talking to my friends as I'm doing campaign.
Jorge also gives Six some lip from time-to-time.
I'm a friggin' Lieutenant. I expect "Yes, Sir"s, "No, Sir"s, and the like.
Not, "SIX, DO THIS! DO THAT!"
Another problem I have with the dialogue is that god-awful marine who voices Cpl. Travis (3Charlie) and a few other radio-chatter people.
"The Covenant is on Reach, I repeat, the Covenant is on Reach..."
OH DEAR GOD, THE MONOTONE.

It's important to note that these Spartans are part of the UNSC Army, not the Navy.
As for a Lieutenant giving a Master Chief Petty Officer orders, I think not. Chiefs have a lot more experience than a boot lieutenant. Also, Noble are SpecWar (it's separate from the Army and Navy), and Six can give orders to Master Chief. The Chief just holds a more respectful rank, although it's lower than Lieutenant.
Also, on the general confusion about the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer:
Master Chief is promoted at the end of Halo 3: to MCPO of the Navy, which is the highest enlisted rank.
This would put him still below an officer, but above all enlisted personnel (in his branch, anyway (Navy). The Army equivalent is Chief Sergeant Major of the Army, or two ranks above Johnson).
For the Master Chief to become an officer, he'd have to willingly go and undertake Officer Training, regardless of his rank.
I'm sure it was a choice thing to follow the Enlisted path rather than the Officer path.
Normally, yes, but in Ghosts of Onyx, Kurt never had to go through OCS. They just promoted him to Lieutenant all willy-nilly. Still, I agree with you, going the enlisted route better suits his character. I can't really picture the chief giving out mass orders. He's more the small squad leader type.
And OMG YES about CPL Travis. Have a little bit of urgency.
"Oh, hey, if there's anyone around, our planet is probably about to be annhialated. No big deal or anything. Just thought you all should know."
I love that he add's "It's the Covenant" at the end.
Yeah... No -blam!- sherlock. lol.
