Well he didn't quit.

The family wants reforms to include medical screening for all after completion of major training events such as Hell Week.


Navy SEALs 'Hell Week' autopsy reveals cause of death of Manalapan man four months later

The military autopsy of Navy SEAL candidate Kyle Mullen, a Manalapan resident who died hours after completing the grueling portion of SEAL training known as “Hell Week” in early February, revealed the cause of death as pneumonia and indicated that the 24-year-old went untreated until it was too late.


Regina Mullen, Kyle’s mother, received the report last week and shared its contents with the Asbury Park Press.


Written by U.S. Army Regional Medical Examiner Wendy Warren and dated May 2, the report painted a grim picture of Mullen’s final moments.

We used to sit out on the balcony of the BOQ at NAB Coronado (which was sort of a highrise, so you could see out to the beach), raise a bottle, and watch the Seal trainess in the distance getting abused.

We were really glad that wasn't us.

New details: he was using some sort of performance enhancing drug(s). I recently read an article from a retired SEAL who said this was a problem in BUD/S in general. The biggest issue besides the bleats of "cheating" is that extreme stresses on someone using PEDs, such as Hell Week, can cause the exact injury/death Mullen suffered.

At least he didn't ring the bell.

But he could have gone to the medics after Hell Week.
