Benjamin!
Beyond his initial promotions and then to Master Chief Petty Officer, Spartan John-117 was never promoted in his life of duty. Others who fought alongside him, such as Avery Johnson, were rightfully promoted due to their courage and skill. John, however, proving time and time gain to be one of humanities most valuable assets, did not.
Now, obviously the real reason for a lack of promotion is because most fans know the big green killing machine as Master Chief, and would become confused if his rank was to suddenly change, but I was wondering what ideas peope had for a canon reason for his lack of advancement.
Looking forward to hearing what ya'll think.
Edit: grey101 has highlighted something that I was wholey ignorant of, the limitation of promotion for an enlisted individual. Perhaps this is another reason that I'd failed to consider then.
