*Beta Company begins training.<ref group="note">In the prologue of ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' (page 16) Tom-B292 notes that he had been training since he was six years old. Since the prologue later states that he was twelve at the time, it can be extrapolated that Beta Company began training around 2539, despite the candidates having been identified as early as 2537. It should be noted that another reference in the novel (page 92) suggests that Tom is two years older than stated in the prologue, in which case Beta Company would have been initiated circa 2537. However, Tom states in ''Halo: Glasslands'' that he is twenty in early 2553 (page 401), which corroborates the ''Ghosts of Onyx'' prologue's version of him having been twelve at the time of Operation: TORPEDO, thus dating Beta Company's induction to 2539.

Alternatively, Beta company's training could have began a short while after they were activated, which would mean that Beta company's training began in late 2537. This aligns with Tom being ten years old in 2541 as well as him beginning his training at Six years of age.</ref> | ||
