Arnold Jenkins

==Biography==
"It's almost too exciting."
--Jenkins during the countdown for the controlled detonation of captured explosives
Born in 2502 in Area 51, Arnold Jenkins was one of 1,000 candidates accepted to the U.S. Armed Forces Academy, where he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. After years of piloting in the 222nd Fighter Group, he worked his way up to General, and was assigned the position of Base Commander. Jenkins was also one of the most renowned general officers on the base, due to being the first to command troops in actual war, rather than in exercises.
When he commanded troops in the Battle Of Earth, he came up with the "Jenkins Pincer", where he used quick attack aircraft to push back the Covenant troops, then encircled them with his soldiers, crushed them with artillery fire, and then used aircraft to fire missiles into the CCS Class Battlecruiser's gravity lift, destroying it.
After the Human-Covenant War, during the U.S.-UNSC War, Jenkins was responsible for the air campaign against the UNSC, which was the pivotal battlefield of the war.
===Service Before The Covenant Wars===
During his first year of service, there were 5 different instances where civilians crossed the line, and had to be escorted out, 3 standoffs with UNSC troops who thought they were rebels, and 17 engagements with actual Insurrectionists.
Jenkins' promotion to Captain was during one of the standoffs with the UNSC, in which he defused the situation, and escorted the UNSC back out to Nellis AFB. During the engagements with Insurrectionists, he was only called up when they had aircraft. It was in one of these engagements that he earned the Air Force Cross. The rebels had disguised an airliner as one of the base's aircraft that would bring in civilian workers every day. When the aircraft started making erratic evasive movements when he came up to it, Jenkins prepared to intercept it. But his aircraft's weapons systems locked up, and he decided to take desperate measures.
Turning his fighter to the 12 o'clock of the rebel aircraft, he went on a collision course with the airliner, punched out, and let his aircraft slam into the enemy, sending the pieces all over the eastern perimeter of the base.
