I have two questions at the moment.

First, you list Polaski as a "Petty Warrant Officer" on page 49. Did you mean Warrant Officer? Because I know you base your writings upon the American system and Petty Warrant Officer isn't a rank as far as I can recall.

Second, on the same page, you list Haverson as a First Lieutenant, but give him the insignia of a Navy Lieutenant. He is in ONI, which suggests Navy, but he may well be Marine Corps. Thus, I want to clarify if he is Navy or Corps.

Thank you for your time.

Brandon,

I don’t have a copy of the HALO Story Bible anymore so I cannot cross-reference to make sure, but these appear to be errors.

Polaski (to my recollection) should be Petty Officer Second Class.

Haverson is a Navy Lieutenant.

Hope that helps.

All best wishes,
