Staff Sgt. Steven T. Smiley did not enter a plea on Wednesday. Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Anthony Anglikowski saved a hiker's life in a treacherous mountain rescue last year. The charges against Staff Sgt. Steven T. Smiley include one count of negligent homicide. The Growler's return to the skies has been five years in the making. An investigation also recommended legal or administrative action against two commanders. The Marine recruit training haircut is a rite of passage. The rescue is one of more than 30 missions Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s search and rescue team has completed this year. The hunter was stuck on a cliff face near Mount Constance in the Olympic National Forest, and another search and rescue team was unable to reach him. The investigation outlines how Pfc. Dalton Beals’ unnamed drill instructor largely was at fault for intensifying training, and that even prior to the Crucible recruits were not comfortable bringing problems forward. In 2019, the Navy authorized a significant expansion of its Growler program at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. Load More
