Talk:Franklin Mendez

Could Mendez be a Spartan I. Kurt or Kurt Ambrose was a Spartan and then he became a spartan III trainer. So was Mendez. He could have never been named Mendez but I might be wrong. The Consumed   ,The Dead   ,and Living  21:50, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Is that all you're going by? The fact that SPARTANs tend to train SPARTANs?

it's specifically mentioned in ghosts of onyx that mendez is a spartan-i: kurt requests that mendez train his spartan-iii's, and ackerson says "i understand, spartans are needed to train spartans". i'll find a specific page in a little bit.CaptJim 05:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Mendez is a Marine/Navy person, right? --B le mo http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK • CONTRIBUTIONS •  THE SOURCE OF SPAM 18:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I know a teacher at my school named Mendez... My friends and I call him SCPO Mendez for fun sometimes, since he reads the books, too.... --B le mo http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK • CONTRIBUTIONS •  THE SOURCE OF SPAM 18:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Wrong Information
In the early career bit its states, "This possibility was proven true when Kurt Ambrose requested that Mendez teach the SPARTAN-IIIs, and James Ackerson replied I understand. Spartans are needed to teach Spartans and shortly afterward Ackerson had Mendez transferred to teach the SPARTAN-IIIs." This is wrong, this quote does not exist, the actual line is on page 48 and is; Ackerson:I'll need a SPARTAN-II to help me train these new recuits. Captain Gibson: And you're just going to ask Dr.Halsey to lend you one? Ackerson: I have a different methodology in mind. Parangosky: You need a spartan to train a spartan, of course, but...tread damned lightly. Ackerson has already planned to have CPO Mendez train them as stated on page 63, "Mendez, will of course, join you," - Ackerson. I have deleted that line from the early career section.
