Jenkins was a natural sharpshooter and was assigned one of the [[Prototype BR-55|prototype Battle Rifles]] during the battle. Jenkins' entire family was killed when [[Gladsheim]] was attacked by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. He was deeply depressed after losing his family, and used his anger to fuel his hatred of the Covenant. The only person close to him to survive was his fellow sharpshooter and friend [[Forsell]]. Forsell had saved his life when he was blinded by rage, stopping him from trying to kill [[Tartarus]]. After escaping from Harvest, Staff Sergeant Johnson offered Jenkins, Forsell, and the remaining militiamen the chance to become real Marines in his unit.<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]] Epilogue</ref> It remains unknown what Jenkins did when he became a Marine, but by [[2552]], he was stationed on [[Reach Station Gamma]]. | Jenkins was a natural sharpshooter and was assigned one of the [[Prototype BR-55|prototype Battle Rifles]] during the battle.
