Easley

Summary
Major Easley was a UNSC officer and pilot of Longswords. He was stationed at Earth in 2552.

In the E3 Demo, during The First Battle of Earth, Sergeant Banks radioed him in to help the Master Chief to destroy the Covenant heavy artillery. He piloted his Longsword interceptor.

NOTE: "Major" has traditionally been a rank in the Army, Air Force, and Marines, but never the navy, making it probable that Easley was actually a part of a Marine air unit or more likley a local (country) air force unit, instead of the navy, which may explain why he was edited out of the final version.
