:You're right, to some degree. In none of the books or games does it say that the enlistment age is 18. ''However'' it is mentioned in I Love Bees. Before you go off and say that it isn't official canon, remember that Halopedia page on I Love Bees states that "I Love Bees should only be considered canon until contradicted elsewhere." In I Love Bees, [[Janissary James]] attempts to join the Marine Corps, but is rejected because she is not yet 18. However, Romeo being able to enlist before being 18 should not be taken as a refutation of the I Love Bees enlistment age canon, because the [[Unnamed Police Officer (Interrogator)]] tells Janissary that when he was her age he "pulled strings so he could join up a year early," meaning that although the official age is 18 it is still possible to join up when you are younger. Romeo could have done something similar. | :You're right, to some degree. In none of the books or games does it say that the enlistment age is 18. ''However'' it is mentioned in [[I Love Bees]].

:Another (though less likely) possibility is that because Romeo was a refugee it was harder to prove his actual age as many of his records may have been destroyed with his home planet. Thus his true age might only have been revealed after he was 18 and already in the Marines. | :Another (though less likely) possibility is that because Romeo was a refugee it was harder to prove his actual age as many of his records may have been destroyed with his home planet.

:A final possibility could just be a similar situation to that found during WWI and WWII; some recruitment officers struggling to meet their quotas and desperate for troops are willing to look the other way when an underaged teenager wants to join. | :A final possibility could just be a similar situation to that found during WWI and WWII; some recruitment officers struggling to meet their quotas and desperate for troops are willing to look the other way when an underaged teenager wants to join. | ||

How exactly did he manage to survive just because he had biofoam injected into him? As far as said, biofoam only packs and numbs the wounds, but Romeo had a punctured lung and clearly had blood spurting out of his chest. This means a high chance of blood flowing into his lungs the whole time and would lead to him drowning. Sure, he ends up almost suffocating which necessitated the biofoam needed to patch the hole, but it wouldn't have sucked the blood out from inside and he should have died anyway. Any explanation? --[[User:WolfMaster91|WolfMaster91]] ([[User talk:WolfMaster91|talk]]) 15:21, 7 September 2014 (EDT) | How exactly did he manage to survive just because he had biofoam injected into him?

:My interpretation of the scene was that the biofoam was expanding to fill the entire ruptured lung to patch up the bleeding - that Romeo's down to just one operational lung. Biofoam also regenerates tissue, so I imagine the wound was closed fairly quickly, at least until they could get him to a medical facility. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 19:19, 7 September 2014 | :My interpretation of the scene was that the biofoam was expanding to fill the entire ruptured lung to patch up the bleeding - that Romeo's down to just one operational lung.
