Before [[The Battle of Reach]], he had fought in 207 ground engagements against the Covenant, and garnered every major service medal except the Prisoner of War Medallion. It is also during this time that he is deemed the best Spartan candidate by Dr. Halsey to work with and protect [[Cortana]]. She explains that although he is neither the smartest, nor the strongest, nor fastest of the Spartans, he is the most well-balanced, having each of those qualites in equal measure; he is also the bravest of all the Spartans and quite possibly the "luckiest" as well. | Before [[The Battle of Reach]], he had fought in 207 ground engagements against the Covenant, and garnered every major service medal except the Prisoner of War Medallion.

Technically, when the events on [[Installation 04|Halo]] occurred, he is about 41 years old in "real time". However during the 27 years of war against the Covenant, UNSC ships had to make [[Slipspace]] jumps to get from system to system (ie. battle to battle). It is stated in the official website that "Faster-than-light travel is not instantaneous; "short" jumps routinely take up to two months, and "long" jumps can last six months or more." It is also known from the novels that UNSC personnel go into deep-sleep in cryochambers during FTL jumps. Therefore, since it is known that the Master Chief and/or his Spartans were present at hundreds of battles in Inner and Outer colonies, the Master Chief's actual biological age should be much younger, as he would have been in cryo-stasis while in transit from system to system and aged almost nothing in the process. This would also explain why Dr Halsey is not as old as she should be in the novels.

This would also explain why Dr Halsey is not as old as she should be in the novels. However, these anomalies may be due to the Spartans' augmentations. Perhaps that the human lifespan in that time period is possibly significantly longer and the onset of aging is delayed due to improved medical care in the 26th century. The reason for these anomalies may be caused by none, some, or all of the before mentioned factors. | ||
