If I wanted to make my spartan tag like Carters, which would it be: A259 or S259???

A259
The "S" portion was reserved for S-II, right grey?

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

I thought it was S-A259.

If you are recreating Carter, then you'd use A259 as that was his service tag. He was a Spartan III, Alpha Company, Number 259.

As there was only one Class and Company of Spartan II's, John's Service Tag was S117 meaning Spartan 117 (he was the 117th child taken in the "grab" for the Spartan Program).

When ONI created the Spartan III's, they created many more of them, thus there were more Companies of Spartans trained. Carter is apart of Alpha Company, Spartan number 259.

Hope that helps.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

i would go with S259. It's more general and I think that is what Bunige uses with Reach; just check the Firefight voice.

I think in the Reach Teaser (Yeah it's a teaser, not much to go off of) Carter himself says "Sierra 259 on the ground sir."

My logic: Sierra 259 = S259, and yeah I know Sierra means spartan, but still.

Id believe so, but from what I can recall, I don't remember anywhere saying that it was exclusive to Spartan II's.

Unless Glasslands says that somewhere...
