There are several issues that I recommend you address:

Firstly, note that "7th Drop Trooper Squad" is extremely vague. As far as military organisational structure goes, every squad of every platoon is given a number within that platoon; which is to say, for example, there would be thousands, if not millions, of "First Squad"'s. In addition, if part of a platoon-level formation, "7th Drop Trooper Squad" would be relatively redundant, as the larger Battalion-level formation would be marked as "Shock Troops"; lastly, keep in mind that there wouldn't be, even in a peacetime scenario, seven squads within a platoon. As it were, platoons are three to four squad formations (less in wartime, given field losses).

Secondly, a relatively minor issue, but the UNSC conducted no invasions of Covenant-controlled worlds throughout the entire Human-Covenant War; his parents wouldn't have died on an "alien" world.

Thirdly, keep in mind that there was only one continuous Battle of Earth; not two separate battles.

Fourthly, a larger issue, note that it wouldn't have been possible for him to encounter and defeat a Sangheili Arbiter during any one of his combat missions: the only Arbiter commissioned during the Human-Covenant War was Thel 'Vadam, and Halo 3 essentially confirms that he lived through the entire war without serious injury.
