Navy Report Reveals Failures in SEAL Training Leading to Seaman's Death.

TL;DR Summary
A US Navy investigation into the death of a sailor during elite Seal training has revealed a "near perfect storm" of issues, including poorly organized medical structures, inadequate leadership, and undetected drug use. The Basic Underwater Demolition/Seal course, which includes the toughest training in the US military, has left many candidates injured and one dead. The report found that instructors deviated from the curriculum and did not allow rest and recovery, leading some students to resort to illegal drugs to keep up. Medical support for trainees was also described as "poorly organized, poorly integrated, and poorly led."
