Note: I'll re-post this in the Reach thread if needed. It's mostly multiplayer talk over there.
If I remember correctly from "The Fall of Reach" book, Master Chief was testing out his new power armor when he first got word that Reach was under attack.
George was a Spartan II. We all know from the part from the Halo: Reach game when Halsey asks George what he did to her armor, that Halsey must have given George that very armor sometime in the past when he was still under Halsey.
My question is: Why did it take so long for Master Chief and the rest of the Spartans to get their power armor, when George had his for quite a while? Is this just another cannon breaker from Reach?

The armor issued to Noble Team was a prototype, the first version of Mark V if you could say. It was the same armor issued to all the available Spartan II Commandos (note the word available). John actually tested the second version of the armor, the one that sported an AI piggyback ride function. It's like, an Xbox 360 and an Xbox 360 Slim.
