*The name "Ambrose", the fictitious last name that was assigned to him by Ackerson, comes from the late Latin or [[Greek Mythology|Greek]] name Ambrosius, which was derived from the Greek name Αμβρόσιος (Αmbrosios) meaning "immortal" which could reference the fact that Spartans [[Office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930|are never marked as KIA]], in an attempt to uphold the belief that Spartans never die. He could have also been named Ambrose after the late author [[wikipedia:Stephen Ambrose|Stephen Ambrose]], who wrote many books about war, his most famous being [[wikipedia:Band of Brothers|Band of Brothers]]. The name of the camp that Kurt trained the SPARTAN-IIIs at, [[Camp Currahee]], is a nod to ''Band of Brothers''. | *The name "Ambrose", the fictitious last name that was assigned to him by Ackerson, comes from the late Latin or [[Greek Mythology|Greek]] name Ambrosius, which was derived from the Greek name Αμβρόσιος (Αmbrosios) meaning "immortal" which could reference the fact that Spartans [[Office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930|are never marked as KIA]], in an attempt to uphold the belief that Spartans never die.

*Kurt is the only known [[SPARTAN-II]] to wear [[SPI|S.P.I. Armor]]. Because of this, he is the only SPARTAN-II that did not have any [[energy shields]] in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', and did not bother to use the [[Kig-Yar Point Defense Gauntlet]] when he used the SPI Armor like the SPARTAN-IIIs did. He decided to wear SPI armor instead of MJOLNIR because he felt he would disconnect himself from his Spartan-III's. He felt he no longer belonged in the MJOLNIR armor, despite the vastly greater protection that it would provide him | *Kurt is the only known [[SPARTAN-II]] to wear [[SPI|S.P.I. Armor]].
