== Summary ==
Being an ODST is Mickey's favorite of all the positions he's been in. He is the demolition expert and pilot for [[Unnamed Shock Trooper Squad|the Squad]].

=== First Battle of Earth ===
Mickey served during the [[First Battle of Earth]] in [[2552]]. He and his squad, along with a larger ODST force were stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Say My Name}}, with the mission to assault the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Regret's Carrier|Flagship]] above the city of [[New Mombasa]].
