The term '''Swabbie''', is a nickname for naval personnel used by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]]. Because the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]]s are technically a part of the [[UNSC Navy]], they also qualify as ''swabbies''. | The term '''Swabbie''', is a nickname for naval personnel used by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]].
