A Navy SEAL training commander who came under fire after a 24-year-old sailor undergoing his program’s brutal “hell week” will argue before Navy leadership next month why he shoul…
commander’s career hangs in the balance, three Republican lawmakers are demanding answers about the integrity of the investigation that is sending him to a punishment hearing, The Post has exclusively learned.
Three Republican lawmakers are questioning the integrity of the investigation into death of Navy SEAL trainee Kyle Mullen in 2022.Mullen, 24, died after he was found unresponsive following his completion of the Navy SEAL training program’s infamously grueling “Hell Week.” Now, the captain faces non-judicial charges of “dereliction of duty, for failing to file a report regarding safety even though they they executed the safety provisions” and a general “negligent dereliction for violation of naval regulation,” his attorney Jason Wareham told The Post.
Regina Mullen said prosecutors were “shocked” to hear she’d prefer NJP, but she explained that to her understanding, “this way something would at least happen” to the leaders. “I think that punishing Geary and his fellow officers in light of their stellar records is not supported by the facts,” LaLota, who reps most of Long Island, told The Post. “… We are facing complex threats to our national security from China and other aggressors, and we need more fighters like Geary and other highly competent Navy SEALs, and I want to ensure a proper process that validates that level of training.
Regina Mullen requested a NJP instead of a court-martial so that “something would at least happen” to the leaders after her son’s death.In addition to pneumonia, medical examiners noted that Mullen’s heart weighed 700 grams – more than twice the size of the average male heart – and listed it as a “secondary cause.
In addition to asking why the PEDs were not tested for, the lawmakers asked why, in a press release following Mullen’s death, the Navy added a sentence requested by his mother noting that drugs had not been a factor in the sailor’s death. “As we work across multiple commands to ensure comprehensive responses, the Navy continues to provide status updates to congress,” she said in a statement, which did not address to The Post’s request for answers to the lawmakers’ questions.
