Actually I don't think there is a such thing as a SPARTAN-I, because if you pre-ordered Halo Reach, you get a small black box, along with the game, and in that small box is a black package. The package contains Halsey's Journal the journal has information on the ORION Program, which was the foundation of the SPARTAN Project. Since the ORION Program killed most of it's test subjects, the UNSC terminated the ORION Program, so they stopped working on the project. Later in Halsey's Journal, she states is ordered to start a project similar to the ORION Program. She was allowed to name the Project whatever she wanted. She named it the SPARTAN Project. Because she didn't want to make it seem like the deaths of the test subjects from the ORION Program to be in vain, Halsey renamed the SPARTAN Project in tribute to their deaths, the SPARTAN-II Project.
So there you have it. That is why I don't think there is a such thing as a SPARTAN-I.ORION Project = Spartan I project. The ORION program laid down the foundation for the Spartan II program.
Johnson is a Spartan I and he was in ORION. As far as most of the community is concerned, the ORION project was renamed the Spartan I program by Halsley to acknowledge their efforts.
