References – used to acquire the knowledge necessary to complete the MQS. They include this Pro-Book, websites listed in each MQS, and files posted at: http://intranet.usna.edu/Training/Professional%20Knowledge%20References.php. 3. Instruction Periods – used for “come-arounds” and other training opportunities during which you will show that you have mastered the LOs. 4. 4/C Pro-Quizzes/Exam – quizzes administered weekly to assess comprehension of the applicable LOs, and a Pro-Exam administered at the end of the fall semester as a mid-point evaluation for Plebe Year. 5.

    Kyle Carpenter

    INDUCTEE BIOGRAPHY: CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT KYLE CARPENTER Superman Hall of Heroes inductee Kyle Carpenter is a true American hero. He is the second living Marine since the Vietnam War, and the youngest Marine to be decorated with the Medal of Honor. His story of bravery, both in combat and in recovery from life-threatening injury, is inspiring to all. Lance Corporal William Kyle Carpenter was born in Jackson, MS, on October 17, 1989, and raised by his parents Jim and Robin Carpenter. He attended high school at W. Wyman King Academy in South Carolina, where he excelled as a running back for the football team. Carpenter graduated in 2008, and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2009. While stationed in Afghanistan as a squad automatic rifleman with Company F, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines, Regimental Combat Team 1, on the morning of November 20th, 2010, Lance Corporal Carpenter’s squad was attacked by small arms fire, sniper fire, grenades and rockets while providing perimeter security to fortify their position at Patrol Base Dakota. During the attack, three grenades were thrown over the east compound wall. One of the three grenades landed between Lance Corporal Carpenter and a fellow Marine. Realizing the danger, Lance Corporal Carpenter positioned himself between the grenade and his fellow Marine. Lance Corporal Carpenter was subsequently severely injured and spent two and a half years recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Over the course of nearly 40 surgeries, much of Corporal Carpenter’s face was reconstructed during his recovery at the hospital.
