Editing Talk:SPARTAN-II program

Hey, just wanted to contribute to this discussion, I have some replies to your 'Class II' blurb, Forerunner.  For your first point I would like to suggest that John-117 is not suggesting a Class II with his statement.  He is simply referencing that they were in a class together, noting that they were part of the same group.  For example, if a school opens in the fall of 2009 and you graduate as the smartest member of your class in the spring of 2010 and the school closes in the summer of 2010, you are still the smartest member of your class despite the fact that there have been no subsequent classes at all.  To describe themselves as a class puts the Spartan's in a group and differentiates them from the rest of their fellow service men and women in the UNSC.  To your second point, about Yasmine being from class II, do we know that for certain?  The inauguration of Beta Company of Spartan III's was in 2537, the same year she was abducted, and she died in 2545, which is the earliest known date of Beta Company SIII being active.(Source is the date in the letter from LTCR. Kurt Ambrose to SCPO Franklin Mendez) Beta company could have finished been augmented and then in the feild in 2545, which is 6 years after their inauguration, lining up with the training time of Alpha Company SIII. To your third point, when CNL. Holland refers to Jorge as a graduate of the class of '25 remember that he also commands SIII's as the rest of the unit.  Thus he would have knowledge of the Spartan III program. Perhaps to him a Spartan is a Spartan, regardless if they are SII or SIII and in order to distinguish them in his report, he distinguishes them from the year they 'graduated' from their class.  Hope that all makes sense,
