He served with the military for fifteen years.<ref name="HTT07"/>


By [[2558]], Petrosky had retired from UNSC service. [[Benjamin Giraud]], as part of his investigation into the history of the Master Chief, found Petrosky through the conspiracy theorist [[Mshak Moradi]]. Although Petrosky was not in the list of approved sources from [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]], Giraud contacted him through [[Chatter]]net and interviewed him. Petrosky's recollection of the events on the UNSC ''Atlas'' described John-117 as a "monster" who had undergone [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|genetic augmentations]] at the age of thirteen. Although Giraud questioned the underlying ethical concerns in the [[SPARTAN-II program]] implicated in that suspicion, Petrosky insisted what he saw was genuine, and it did not make a difference to him whether Giraud believed him or not.<ref name="HTT03"/>
By [[2558]], Petrosky had retired from UNSC service. After retiring, he quality of life decreased as the benefits veterans received on his planet were poor. He claimed to always be one missed check away from living on the streets and he could only afford to eat canned proteins. [[Benjamin Giraud]], as part of his investigation into the history of the Master Chief, found Petrosky through the conspiracy theorist [[Mshak Moradi]]. Although Petrosky was not in the list of approved sources from [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]], Giraud contacted him through [[Chatter]]net and interviewed him. Petrosky's recollection of the events on the UNSC ''Atlas'' described John-117 as a "monster" who had undergone [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|genetic augmentations]] at the age of thirteen. Although Giraud questioned the underlying ethical concerns in the [[SPARTAN-II program]] implicated in that suspicion, Petrosky insisted what he saw was genuine, and it did not make a difference to him whether Giraud believed him or not.<ref name="HTT03"/> Giraud later contacted Petrosky again, who revealed that he heard rumors of ONI kidnapping children in order to conscript them into the SPARTAN-II program and then biologically augmenting them to turn the candidates into supersoldiers. Petrosky admitted that he did not care if ONI retaliated because he leaked out the Spartan-IIs' origins, as he believed his life could not get worse.<ref name="HTT07"/>

Several days later, at "[[FERO]]"'s persuasion, Giraud contacted Petrosky again and asked if he would like to help bring down ONI. Petrosky agreed and Giraud told him his plan, which involved revealing ONI's child conscription acts before the [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Unified Earth Government senate|senate]].<ref name="HTT08">'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 08: DRIP, DRIP, DRIP''</ref>
 
==Personality and traits==
Fifteen years of military service led to Petrosky becoming cynical. His planet's lack of veterans' benefits led to Petrosky constantly living in poor conditions, claiming his house was worse than a shelter and that he was always on the verge from being homeless. His poor living conditions led to him believing that his life could not be any worse. Petrosky developed disdain for the [[UNSC]], believing that he did not owe them any loyalty or any responsibilities to remain quiet about the things he had witnessed.<ref name="HTT07"/>
 
He believed that the [[Spartan-IIs]] were freaks and in-[[human]]. He claimed that he did not know what the Spartans truly were, but he did not think they were heroes. Despite this, he did not blame the Spartans or the Master Chief, even for the incident that happened on {{UNSCShip|Atlas}}. Instead, he blamed the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] for kidnapping the children and "programming" them to follow ONI's demands. He also considered [[Franklin Mendez]] to be a "sadist CPO" who wanted to test out the John's combat abilities by having him attack the ODSTs aboard ''Atlas''.<ref name="HTT07"/>
