In [[2524]], he joined the [[Colonial Militia of Harvest]] in an effort to make use of himself. His ambition was to join the [[UNSC]] [[Marine Corps]] as an officer. Though [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] frequently criticized him, he proved to be an extremely quick thinker and a competent Marine. One major event was when he and [[Forsell]] were running a training exercise with all of the other recruits in the Colonial Militia, he and Forsell were able to quickly determine the situation and go around the mock attack staged by Johnson and [[Byrne]]. By doing so they were almost able to win the exercise, though a recruit named [[Osmo]] beat them to it. By proving that they were competent Marines who could think out-of-the-box, they earned the trust of Staff Sergeant Johnson, and developed a close relationship over the First Battle of Harvest. | ||

In the fight, Jenkins panicked and an [[Infection Form]], weakened by a millennia-long hibernation period, latched on to him and took over his body.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], Page 175</ref> He dropped his video-recording helmet, which was later found by the [[Master Chief]], who watched the horrifying attack via the [[Recorder Chip]] of Jenkins' [[Helmet Recorder]].<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 206</ref> The video ended suddenly, right as the [[infection form]] hit Jenkins, and infected him. | ||
He and his entire squad, except [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] and [[Bisenti]], were turned into [[Combat Forms]]. However, in Jenkins' case, his [[Infection Form]] was weakened from the centuries of containment, and could not fully control him. <ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 176</ref> He watched in terror as he lost control of his mutated body and the Infection Form moved his body around and assaulted his mind. Thus, he could control himself when the "other" was in pain. When it had total command, he could not do anything except see what he was doing. | He and his entire squad, except [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] and [[Bisenti]], were turned into [[Combat Forms]].
