John Turner

'''John "J.T." Turner''' was a former U.S. Navy Intelligence Officer and served as one of Lt. Solid Snake's comrades during Operation Intrude 747. Having been in service of the Navy's Intelligence Agency since 1992, he helped Snake infiltrate an enemy base by luring away the guards and allowing himself to be captured. It was thought that he was locked up in a train heading towards the main enemy complex, but it was later revealed that the personnel had switched him with a double to lure Snake into a trap.

What happened to the real John Turner is not revealed and he was listed as MIA after the mission was completed. He was later removed from official Navy records for reasons unspecified.

Behind the scenes
In the Snake's Revenge manual, it was mentioned that he had disappeared in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War in 1969 and was a camouflage expert. It also incorrectly stated that Turner was a spy for the U.S. Air Force's Intelligence Department instead of the U.S. Navy. Also, Solid Snake is incorrectly shown on John's bio picture and vice versa.
