So, after Alpha Company we had the non-selects of the Spartan 3s with Mendaz and Co train the Beta company and Gamma. I could confuse the story when they started doing the HGH (human growth hormone) but beside Tom and Lucy due to being actual survivors of Operation: Torpedo, why didn't they turn "cadre" from alpha and beta spartan "washouts" into actual spartans. ONI did so with rehabing Spartan-2 wash outs but that was post surgery. The 3's meet all the genetic requirements and training. Would it really have cost them that significant of cost to have a spartan asset instead of them remaining as trainers.
