Three Naval Special Warfare Command officers are facing admiral’s mast disciplinary hearings in connection to the death of a SEAL trainee last year, officials have confirmed.

Capt. Brian Dreschler, Capt. Bradley Geary and Cmdr. Erik Ramey are all facing the nonjudicial punishment, although command officials declined to say when the hearings could take place or which charges the three are facing, citing Navy practices that generally prohibit the release of such administrative records.


Each officer held a senior position in the SEAL training process on Feb. 4, 2022, when SEAL candidate Seaman Kyle Mullen, 24, died of acute pneumonia. He and his Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) class had just wrapped up the “Hell Week” portion of their training at the Naval Special Warfare Center in Coronado, California.

Dreschler was the Naval Special Warfare Center’s commanding officer at the time, while Geary led the center’s Basic Training Command and Ramey was the center’s head medical official.

 This is nothing less than some careerist Naval officer tossing blame downwind to his subordinates because he thinks if his name is attached to it he might not get another promotion,and may even have to retire.

He doesn't give a damn about the trainee or the officers under him. All he cares about is covering his own ass.
