ORION
Please, stop adding in that the CMA started it in 2491. That was ONI. The CMA did their own project in 2321, according to the Halo Encyclopedia, pages 80/81. -- Sergeant Major Avery JohnsonChatter 05:21, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
- Yes and no. I've just realized that unfortunately the Halo Encyclopedia includes contradictory information on the subject. As you write, it states that on page 80-81, that the CMA launched it in 2321 and ONI in 2491. BUT, pages 44-45 and 67 say the exact opposite. They state that the project was launched in 2321 by ONI and resurrected in 2491 by the CMA before being absorbed back into ONI after Operation: CHARLEMAGNE. I assume you have a copy, and I urge you to double check my findings.--

Allow me to explain to you how medals work in the US Armed Forces...
Here is the official list of them for your viewing pleasure: List of Active US medals and ribbons
As you can clearly see in the above list, due to the current status and existence of branches within the UNSC such as the UNSC Army and UNSC Marine Corps, it is impossible for John-117 to have accumulated every single medal in the UNSC, since the UNSC has medals based off of the US Armed Forces' existing Awards and Decorations, and the US Armed Forces has medals such as Army Commendation Medal which is only awarded to soldiers in the Army. So, explain to me this, unless Master Chief is in the UNSC Army, how could he have obtained that medal? If you can't, then don't revert my edit.

- The original source said UNSC. So therefore we go with the source unless stated otherwise by an official Halo source.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs
- I don't doubt that is how US military decorations work. However thus far in the Halo universe no medals or awards have been explicitly mentioned which are branch-specific. Even though the awards are based on the current US model, we do not assume that every medal and award carried over to the UNSC - only those which have been specifically mentioned. Thus unless specifically stated otherwise, we go with the entire UNSC.-- Rusty - 112 18:43, 30 January 2012 (EST)

- The Outstanding Airman of the Year Ribbon, Navy "E" Ribbon, Navy and Marine Corps Medal, Non-Commissioned Officer Development Ribbon and Basic Training Honor Graduate Ribbon have not actually ever been explicitly mentioned. Their existence in the Halo universe is based on conjecture, and comes from the ribbons worn on the uniforms of Jacob Keyes and Terrence Hood - we do not know for sure that these ribbons actually represent the same medals in the UNSC as they do in the present-day USA. It's also very possible that Bungie simply stuck them on there as place-fillers.-- Rusty - 112 10:52, 31 January 2012 (EST)

- What if, the UNSC didn't based all of their decorations off the US Military? , Kluutak, you are automatically assuming that the UNSC is using all of the decorations from the US military. Just because a few of them are the same, doesn't mean all of them are the same. It's like thinking that 343i will remake every Halo: CE multiplayer map just because they remade Hang 'Em High, Damnation, and Prisoner. Unless you have an official source saying that all UNSC decorations are from the current US military, keep the page as it is. —S331

Waypoint Awards
Hey Rusty, I've created a template for the Halo Waypoint Awards. Just add {{Waypoint Awards}} to the article.
