Stupid ass washing machine...

Anybody know if the whole 25 years ago discrepancy was fixed in the re-issue of The Fall of Reach?
What I mean is this.
"How do you get to be a Spartan? I mean" His gaze fell to the floor. "I mean, if someone wanted to join your outfit. How would they do that?"
Join? The Master Chief pondered the word. How hadhe joined? Dr. Halsey had picked him and the other Spartans twenty five years ago.
That was in Sigma Octanus IV in 2552, thus making John 31. I know he is 41 by Halo CE through 3 but my friend is hell bent on having him be 31 because of this and now she says how the dates of all the books are wrong, so would you help me out with this?
This, if I understand correctly, is because of a major error in The Fall of Reach (before it was edited and re-released in 2010) which stated that Reach and Sigma Octanus IV happed in 2542. This is because TFoR was written shortly before or after Halo: CE was released (not sure which...) and Eric Nylund and indeed Bungie had very basic ideas of the entire Halo universe, all of it's dates and major events.
Hope that helped.
