Navy finds 'perfect storm' of problems in elite Seals course

A gruelling training programme for US Navy Seals suffers from a lack of oversight, drug use and poor medical care, according to a new report.

The US Navy's report found that the programme put "candidates at significant risk" of injury and death.

Naval investigators found that medical care at the course was "poorly organised, poorly integrated and poorly led", factors which it believes "likely had the most direct impact on the health and well being" of candidates.

These failures, the report added, directly contributed to the death of Kyle Mullen, a sailor who died of acute pneumonia last year just hours after completing the Hell Week test.

1. What happens when the inmates start running the institution. The program needs non Seal oversight.

2. I wasn't a Seal but when I was in the Army getting to go to sick call

was like pulling teeth. I saw people we all knew were very sick (not hungover) and they were told “Go to formation and then we can let you go”. Formation ends…right face! and we start marching. I got in trouble trying to get the NCO who’d just told the soldier to go to formation to let them go.

5. And then there is the other problem.

My brother, as a young jr. officer, badly injured his back in a parachute jump. He wouldn't go to sick bay because it would have been a mark on his record that he was weak. Here it is 30 years later and he sleeps on the floor in order to get relief from chronic back pain.

6. I think that's part of the problem here with the Seals

You don’t want to look like you are weak or just sliding by. I’m sure that’s a big part of their culture.
