Talk:105th Drop Jet Platoon

This group could very well be a reference to a platoon of ODSTs from the 105th Division. On page 65 of TFOR it's stated that among the Helljumpers traditional tattoos is: "Drop Jet Jumpers". It is possible that the Spartans were just refering to the platoon as a part of the overall 105th ODST division as opposed to a specific "105th Platoon" especially since if the same military logic of current times can be applied, platoons are numbered as a component of a company, and a company is not large enough to have at least 105 platoons of approximately 50 marines. -- CINCUNSCDF 04:35, 16 January 2007

Yes this makes sense, but how the unit's name was written cannot be ignored. It was called the "105th Drop Jet Platoon," and thought I agree that Platoons never get their own numberings, the book made it clear this this one did. If it had sai "The 105th's drop jet platoon" then this logic would be applicable. Until then, we can't contradict what the books say for the sake of current reasoning. --ED_(talk)^(shockfront) 16:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
