the PoA jumps out from a very hot combat zone, into the unknown... ( end of reach start of ce) john is already in cryo b4 they leave.. makes no sence.. short jump from hostile area to potential hostile area while being pursude and he isn't brought out of cryo till the PoA is boarded.. and the diolog at start of ce indercates ( to me at least) that they are a little suprised at the order to do so.. so a: why was he in cryo on reach? b: why wasn't he with keyes to retrieve cortana.. high value package and the PoA's spartan all tucked up in bed?? c: why the suprise at the order to make him battle ready for a minor incursion/boarding party.. the only whole in my theory is the fact he isn't in cryo at the start of halo2.. but then he is meant to be attending a medal ceromony.. so maybe that superceeds.. and while it is noted ( can't remember exact source) that spartans do spend alot of time ( more than an average soldier).. even the spartan 1's .. like johnson.. ( age calculated + cryo time).. am sure some1 on here will know what i mean.. john on other hand seems to me to spend more time in cryo than any asset should in a time of war.. but hey thats just my mind linking dots.. lol
