 If the boarding party isn't Air Force, it means that the suit they wear is universal between branches. This would also take some credibility out of the thesis that the Sabre pilots are Air Force. Still, Bungie gave each branch their unique look to make them distinguishable; if they wanted the boarding team to be Marines or Army, then why not use [[:File:Reach UNSC Marine.png|the Marine model from TPoA]] or the Army BDU with a sealed helmet? I was hoping we could sort this out so I could decide if changes should be made to any relevant pages or not. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 08:18, 16 June 2011 (EDT)
-:It is possible that they are a special forces branch relating under the Air Force's control, though I suppose it is also equally likely that they are just Marine or Army personnel with non-standard armour (Personally I'd say they were Marines - the army appears a lot more grounded in the 26th century). Do we have a good screenshot of the other BDUs to compare? If you feel that the differences are different enough I suppose you could create "Unidentified special forces unit (UPPER CUT)" and describe the differences there.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 09:07, 16 June 2011 (EDT)

 ::[[:File:Dead pilot.jpg|Here]]'s an AMX pilot from ToTS, and [[:File:Boarder.jpg|here]]'s one of the soldiers from LNoS. It's one of the Sabre crewmen, but the team on the Pelican wear the same armor. For comparison, [[:File:UNSC Army variations.png|here's an image with most, if not all, Army trooper variants in the game]]. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 09:11, 16 June 2011 (EDT)
+:::There's a corporal with a radio-back wearing a brown version of the suit. However, I doubt that Bungie would have confused the two - why put a radio man on a plane? It would appear that they are wearing Air Force uniform. It doubt, further, that Bungie would use the skin consistently in the wrong way whey intended it to have a specific use (eg. fly vehicles). It could be that the military uses Air Force pilots for all sub-orbital craft like NASA in its early years, due to the similarity of controls. However, the reason for the ''armed'' airmen and the uniform of the Pelican boarders makes me think that this could be a specialist branch of the Air Force trained for boarding action.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 09:38, 16 June 2011 (EDT)
