When the Spartans were eight years old, they were sent on a training mission in which they were dropped over [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve|a forest]] located deep in one of Reach's [[Highland Mountains]]. They were expected to get safely to their extraction vehicle, an [[Albatross]] dropship. The trainees also had instructions to leave the last member arriving behind, or their punishment would be severe. John refused. After organizing them, the Spartans looked to him as their leader. It was a role he was surprised to be given, but eventually accepted. When the group came across the Albatross, it was guarded by un-uniformed [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]], leading John to assume they were a threat. He quickly devised a plan to eliminate the hostiles, capture the dropship, and ensure the safe extraction of every team member. He also decided to take responsibility as the last arriving trainee singled out for punishment. He quickly hijacked the dropship with the help of [[Déjà]], and attacked the guards with stones, injuring them severely. Chief Mendez was not initially pleased, feeling John had violated the boundaries of the test. However, both Mendez and Halsey quickly recognized John's initiative, and promoted him to Squad Leader. After this, despite the other Spartans rising in rank and leading independent teams, John remained the ''de facto'' leader of the Spartans as a whole. | When the Spartans were eight years old, they were sent on a training mission in which they were dropped over [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve|a forest]] located deep in one of Reach's [[Highland Mountains]].

On [[2552#August|August 29, 2552]], during the Covenant's ongoing invasion of Reach, John received an upgrade to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]] as well as an [[SPARTAN neural interface|upgrade]] to his neural interface, allowing him to support an [[artificial intelligence]].<ref>'''Dr. Halsey's personal journal'''</ref> He was then introduced to and partnered with the AI [[Cortana]], who would become his closest friend and confidant. Before embarking on a high risk [[Operation: RED FLAG|mission]] to capture a Covenant Prophet, the two were put through a suicidal test in an attempt by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] to defame the SPARTAN-II program. Despite the dangers, John refused to cheat the test and was determined to win it by Ackerson's rules. Despite nearly being killed, Cortana and John's teamwork allowed them to prevail in an impossible situation, the first of many such accomplishments. | On [[2552#August|August 29, 2552]], during the Covenant's ongoing invasion of Reach, John received an upgrade to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]] as well as an [[SPARTAN neural interface|upgrade]] to his neural interface, allowing him to support an [[artificial intelligence]].<ref>'''Dr. Halsey's personal journal'''</ref> He was then introduced to and partnered with the AI [[Cortana]], who would become his closest friend and confidant.
