Lt. Kyle Teachout, a native of Coronado, California, was honored with the Supply Management Excellence Award during a recent graduation held at the Navy Supply Corps School (NSCS) in Newport, Rhode Island. 

Teachout is a 2012 Coronado High School graduate and a 2016 graduate of Hendrix College. Teachout joined the Navy seven years ago.

“This award signifies superior performance in the supply management discipline,” Teachout said. “It represents a strong understanding of part/consumable acquisition and management that is critical to a successful operation. While it is merely a foundation to build upon, it signifies that the Navy Supply Corps School is preparing supply officers to make immediate impacts and effectively execute supply chains upon entering the fleet.”

Navy Supply Corps officers play a critical role in ensuring sailors have the equipment and resources they need to maintain readiness and counter global threats.
