On Sunday, Navy officials announced SEAL candidate, 24-year-old Kyle Mullen, died after the highly demanding training session known as 'Hell Week' and left another sailor hospitalized. This isn't the first incident during or connected to Hell Week.
Hell Week is meant to test the physical and mental determination to perform in the most difficult conditions; it's why Navy SEALs are recognized as some of the highest trained members of the U.S. military special operations forces.
Do you think 'Hell Week' needs to be reconsidered or is it a necessary risk?

Should we stop flight operations at sea because an F-35 crashed? Risk is inherent to the military life style.

If We'd Only Take: "the final weeding by which only the greatest graduate",
That Would Be One Hell Of A Small Group ~ Hardly Enough To Form A Game
Of Gin And Drink A 6 Pack... WTF Ya Talking About?
How Would That Work If We Only Took The Best Out Of The Basic Training Programs?

- "HELL WEEK" Is A Part Of The "Routine Training" ~~ "A Job Requirement"?
Then Out Of The Entire Group Of Trainees, How Many Would "Make The Cut",
If "Only The Greatest Graduate"?~~ I've Always Been Of The Belief: "The Greatest" Was "ONE PERSON" Out Of An Entire Group......Such As Muhammad Ali ~~ NOT Any Of The Other Competitors HE Kick The Sh*it Out Of.... It's Not A Group Effort
. ~ SERIOUSLY ~ Please Explain ~ It's WAY Over My Head.

Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer school may start out with 10 recruits and when the class ends, maybe 1 or 2 will graduate. At times NO one graduates. A rescue swimmer may have to stay with a survivor for 30 minutes to one hour treading water, so the swimmer must be the best of the best. Water polo players and surfers make good candidates. Like a Navy SEAL the rescue swimmers has to be highly motivated to graduate and make the cut.

No. Complete a sitrep and get back to training warriors. We have too many soft handshakes as it is.

Yes. Those who are in Special Operations must train as they fight. It is inherently dangerous, but that is the best approach.
