The U.S. Navy recently announced that a Navy SEAL cadet died within hours of completing the famous Hell Week training mission, and another cadet also suffered from severe physical discomfort, and the unwell person has been taken to the hospital, and his emotional stability with his family is relatively stable.
The hapless cadet, Kyle Mullen, is 24 years old from Manarapan, New Jersey, and joined the U.S. Navy in March 2021. After five and a half days of strenuous training, Mullen suddenly developed an unknown disease and died on February 4 at the Sharp Coronado Hospital in San Diego, and another trainee is also reported to have suffered from a similar disease, the cause of which is still under investigation.
Rear Admiral Howard III, commander of the U.S. Navy's Special Operations Command, said in a statement: "We have the deepest sympathy for Mullen's family ... We are providing various forms of support and assistance to the Mullen family and his classmates. ”
The so-called Hell Week training is the first evaluation phase that U.S. Navy cadets go through to join the Navy SEAL, during which cadets must be trained in underwater blasting, field survival, and other combat tactics, which are known for their high-intensity training and are often completed in a state of lack of sleep. According to statistics, 50%-60% of the trainees will not be able to pass the Hell Week training.
