I called my toddler, "Daddy's little operator" he could go into any situation, and F everything up, and be gone before you know what hit you. He specialized in remote controls and toilets.
American badass- "freakin new guy" Interviewer- "you can cuss on here" BA- "well i dont wanna disrespect anyone." Not sure if anyone caught that but one of the most badass people this planet has to offer and hes humble, respectful, and thoughtful not arrogant, egocentric and think every1 else is less than. Good stuff.
You also don't hear about Delta Force bragging about any missions they've been on and they're the ones doing things that people don't need to know about
I wonder the same thing! Wouldn't you be quiet about it and not seek the attention? And not have the "look"? But heck...I have no reason not to believe this guy. I'm a nobody and have nothing bad to assume about this guy. Just wondering...no disrespect
I had a guy who became my buddy at Fort Bragg. Nice, polite, easy going. The only thing he was crazy about was MLB. He loved the dodgers. Asked me for advice all the time. Ate lunch w him every day. He asked me standards for medical retention. Looked it up for him. Green Beret came up to me and, you know why he's asking right. He was Delta and was assigned here until he recuperates. He did. I never saw him again. Hero.
I am a grateful civilian. Two times in my life I met guys that only later I learned had been Navy SEALs. Both times they were polite but there was something about them that made me wary. They were nice but not effusive. A certain calm steadiness and intensity. Not exactly the type of guy I would want to hang out with but would have no problem with as a coworker or neighbor. Anyway, I cannot thank our military and elite warriors enough for serving out country.
I served 10 years regular Army and saw 1 Delta Force guy my entire enlistment. In Afghanistan flying in to Tarin Kowt from Kandahar. Dude look like something from a movie. He didn’t get briefed with the rest of us he was escorted somewhere else.
had something similar in Bosnia .. had a 14 day leave during the tour so we were picked up by the schoolbus (a ch47 flying base to base with final destination Split, Croatia.) somewhere between Travnik and Banja Luka in the middle of fkin nowhere l, they barely land on the top of a mountain.. just touching it with the tailgate. Two guys looking like homeless parkrangers with a german shepard hop in, gave us a friendly nod, took a seat and we flew on like this was everyday shit. Loadmaster later said those were SAS operators.
Tarin Kowt, or the official name FOB Robinson was Army SF, the Green Berets. Delta was nowhere near there. Delta and other tier one units were out of Bagram and Jalalabad. Source - our helicopters were parked right next to their compound on the base.
My older brother, an Army Ranger. In a training exercise with Delta and wax bullets, was the aggressive force in a hostage situation. He said they( Rangers) were taken out so amazingly fast and efficiently. Thank you all for your service!!!
Bet he made the hostile people holding hostages scared cause he was brave they probably thought this man is crazy and might look crazy but in all the Roy it was his way or they highway and he meant it
Doesn’t make sense. Delta is not trained to work in a larger group like the rangers. The delta guys don’t have some secret way to wipe out a squad or platoon of rangers.
@@mikezappulla4092that's not how it goes. Check out Matt Pranka's helmet cam training footage. Dude is hitting running head shots at 40 yards! Anyway, depending on the scenario, they use all manner and number of role players from whoever is available. SWAT, Rangers, hired actors, etc. Its hostage rescue so they probably had half a dozen to a dozen Rangers playing OPFOR and a handful of them as hostages.
To me it doesn't matter Delta Force, or seals, you could be washing a deck in the Navy or cooking pancakes. I sincerely thank you for your service and admire your bravery.
Was kinda thinking the same thing. Not to take away any of the incredible difficulties these guys face and accomplishments they achieve, all service members give the government a check worth their lives that can be cashed anytime.
While in the 82nd in the mid-90’s, a buddy asked if I wanted to make some money working for a guy that did tree removal on the weekends. Being completely broke like any other Joe, I jumped at the opportunity. The guy that did the removal was a small-framed, wiry dude, who was friendly and soft-spoken. Besides noticing that he had limitless energy, he came off as an unassuming, civilian-like guy. I found out later he was a Delta operator and a member of the Golden Knights parachute team.
So moral of the story….. after doing all that cool stuff…. He removes trees on the weekend for extra money… I served… I’m not an internet troll… prime example of a dude who is someone in the military and gets out and removes trees
Inside Delta Force and The Unit gave me a slight peak into the type. Greatest respect because for me, they are James Bond in real life. They're all shapes and sizes. They blend in. They seem extremely humble and extremely intelligent. They're polyglots, diplomats, warriors, marksmen, gentlemen. They are my vision of ultimate manhood. They do what they do and NOBODY has to know about it. The truest quiet professionals.
I worked on the first season of that show! We had a workout trailer for the guys, and one of my favorite memories was when David Mamet walked out and asked me, “hey, how do I get into the workout trailer?” I said “right this way, sir,” and he goes “DON’T YOU TELL ME HOW TO WRITE!” 😂😂 I laughed my ass off. He said “I’ve been telling that joke for 15 years, and you’re the first guy who’s laughed.”
@@VA-gu1jqlmao I said same thing😂 Like I don’t think he fully understands how fucked up the US is. Yeah we may have a strong military. But that doesn’t make you a man😂 especially when it’s for exploitation not freedom. That’s that indoctrination for ya😂
The mental toughness required to get through selection, let alone the physical demands, is just amazing. The fact that only a few out of an already incredibly tough pool of candidates make it is just amazing. Super human. Eternal admiration.
I had a friend that was one of those 100 that tried out. They woke up one morning and all the deltas were gone. No goodbye. No go home. No reason. They took no one from 100 candidates that were hand picked to try out.
Ya there's no pacing yourself. You can't leave anything in the tank because you keep thinking that if you let up for a second someone else will beat you or you'll get sent home. That would definitely get in your damn head. If you're the kind of guy who has self doubts or self sabotage you'll never make it, your demons will drag you down.
"If you need to accomplish a difficult mission, you call the SEALs. If you need to accomplish a difficult mission, and not have 3 books and a movie made about it, you call Delta" - quote, can't remember from where
@@D71102 "Inside Delta Force" explains the process, which is similar to SAS selection. A combination of skill, determination, physical fitness and luck is required to pass.
Bro did you see the interview in Ukraine when the Russians invaded? The female reporter was talking to a quote on qoute ex seal about some nonsense and all of a sudden these two men came in groaning and moaning 1 guy dragging the other under his weight. Guy turned around and said go to the other room to his teammates and he continued the interview 😂😅
I feel blessed as a kid, my scout master was an army ranger in nam. Everythingvwe did had a military training program behind it. We did a ton of hiking. 5 milers, 20 milers and 50 milers. Now we were 12-14 years old and we hiked alot of those in full packs because we woukd camp along the way. We woukd set up camp and then eat what ever you brought, and then we woukd play capture the flag. 2 teams and full on in the dark rough terrain, desert, woods, mtns, where ever. We had to use our composes pretty much every camp out. We were extremely self sufficient for our ages. We all wore bdu s instead of scout clothes. We made pungy traps, snares and all sorts of alarms. We loved it. I see how completely sad our young men are going into life now.
I had the pleasure of working with a former Delta Operator. From the first day I met him, he was the nicest consummate professional. He made all of us better and it was heart breaking when he passed away. Not once did he ever mention his former job. It was all about the now which was very different from SEALS.
Most amazing marksmanship I ever saw was by a Delta operator in Baghdad 2005. He used his assault rifle (M4 or HK416) to put a controlled pair into a fleeing sniper from a moving helicopter over 150 yards away from above and at partial deflection. Both rounds hit, on a target that had to be led while simultaneously adjusting for parallax, vertical movement, and the constantly changing horizontal and altitude position of a Little Bird moving through dense urban terrain.
@@ruggedindsoup2135 A significant (nearly impossible) amount, complicated by the speed and vibration of an inherently unstable moving platform, aka the Little Bird. It was standard to zero a 5.56mm assault rifle at 300 meters, Since that operator had a 5.56 with an acog or eotech zeroed at 300, he would have to put his reticle off the target to adjust for the parallax while also leading it. 75m closer or farther than that zero will force a parallax adjustment and in this case the operator was easily dealing with twice that amount. CQC shooters would sometimes zero at 50m, which is superior for reflex fire distances up to about 200m, but even if he had done that, he still had 100m of parallax. Any way you slice it, it was a masterful shot that impressed the overwatch at BIAP main control tower who witnessed it (1 240 gunner, 1 sniper and 1 M4 rifleman).
@@hammerfist8763 Thanks for sharing, shit dood, that IS a serious shot(s).... -Was the guy running @ an angle>>away from choppers side?...Parallel to the Cayuse? -Or chopper coming up more to his back? -Figuring in target lead, vehicle speed, angle of aircraft > targets own angle, elevated firing position, meaning holding over a little high, as target low = impact low. Doing all those intuitive calculations in a micro fraction of a second. No amount of book work n' course classes can teach that... Wild stuff. take 'er easy......
Had a Drill Sargeant who did Delta school, and the last thing he said he had to do was repel air Assult from a helicopter. He came down an injured his knee. He had to get medical, so he had a choice to either restart delta training school, or drop out .. he dropped out to fully heal up and I valued him tremendously in basic an most of AIT. He got a promotion and left with a couple of weeks of finishing my AIT. Thank you Sargeant Maxwell, whenever you are or ended up. For all you did ..
No offense but what message are we supposed to get from this story? It sounds like dude got injured, dropped out and never finished delta school? I mean I guess he was your Sargent or whatever but what significance does this play or is this just more military worship?
@@kevingeezy5176he's not worshiping the military, he's just admiring the efforts of someone that was a positive influence in his life, even in the face of failure. There's nothing wrong with that
@@kevingeezy5176 It's inferred you Numbnut! Quit being the dickhead in the back of the line spouting off until someone turns around. We know who you are by your fruits and yes can even tell this by the words you choose to type!
I am convinced that the standard isn’t announced because it varies for each man. You may take longer to accomplish a task, but if you do it with fewer issues and get from A to B with better route selection and time management, you’re good. They don’t want the best guys. They want the RIGHT guys. When Eric Haney did OTC 3 and got WAY lost and ended up adding 14 miles to his 40 miler, he didn’t whine. He fixed his error and went hard until he was done and he made it. How well does each man manage himself under unbelievable physical and mental stress? It ain’t about speed.
There apparently IS a standard, but you're sort of right. There was an interview on the Shawn Ryan Show with a guy who was also an instructor. He said the top guys knew the standard, but even the instructors weren't informed. They would just report the times to their bosses who would then cut guys or keep them. He did say the times themselves didn't seem the same for all guys though. There used to be a documentary on youtube (deleted now) showing Australian SAS selection which is basically the same, and it had a brief part showing the course leaders talking about applicants, and they also had differing standards for each guy based on individual factors.
I have heard something like "there are and aren't standards" There for sure are, but people cheat, on things like land-nav. And if you cheat and do not get caught, they may actually know you cheated, but you did it in a creative way that actually shows you can think outside the box, you're good. But if you get caught, even if you're being creative, you got caught and you're done. That is not a direct quote but that is what I heard.
Retired Army here. SEALs are called "the Teams" for a reason; it's their core. Operators spend a lot of their selection #1 alone and #2 having no idea whatsoever how they're doing relative to anyone else and #3 constantly being screwed with. The SEALs are more physical but the Delta guys are far, FAR more psychological. Masters of chaos, they say. That's what ultimately makes Delta better.
So you're going to compare a regular SEAL team with Delta? How about DEVGRU with Delta, THAT would be a more fair comparison. How do you think a regular SF unit would fair when compared to DEVGRU? Compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
@@tidefanyankee2428doesn’t matter, seals go to delta, and they didn’t make the leap because they thought it was an inferior unit. They switched because they wanted to be the best. Delta is still the best we have to offer.
As a western elk hunter who has done 19 days solo. The isolation is real man. You literally turn on yourself. You will talk yourself off the mountain. Mountains are exhausting with a 65# pack. I have the best gear, as a former grunt I know these guys in training definitely did not. The right gear is essential to comfort and longevity. Hard motherfookers, much respect to endure this💪🇺🇲
My drill Sgt used to say, "Deltas are our version of modern-day ninjas." a majority of their work is done behind enemy lines in civilian clothing. Bottom line: Don't F*** with delta.
we can only pray for them. they may think that, because they are formidable, or so, that they are to be feared. Let me tell you: there is only one who is to be feared. If you do not fear God, you are... stupid. YOU FG MORONS! IF GOD ALMIGHTY DOES NOT GO WITH YOU AND BEFOER YOU YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD!
I heard a Delta guy say it differently. He said Seals are the scalpel of warfare. And Delta is the sledgehammer of warfare. They are used for two different approaches. But I still agree that Delta is the best of the best because they are allowed to pick from any military branch. Which tells me they are highly versatile.
When I was in Air Assault school, one of the cadre had gone through initial Delta selection (although he couldn't say 'Delta', just "that unit everyone knows about but nobody can talk about"). He didn't make it, but he described part of what they went through, including about ten days of doing nothing but going up and down mountains. On the eleventh day, those who were left were put into a room (where the heat was cranked up) to take a 60 question test that they had 60 minutes to complete, while heavy metal music was getting blasted into the room. He said he fell asleep and got DQed, along with at least a dozen others. High speed and hard core.
@@jeffhall2958 Concur. Although, to be fair, experience is a great teacher. I have no doubt some who were eliminated during an initial selection attempt made it in a subsequent one, if they were asked back.
My old brigade commander was prior Delta. Good dude, great sense of humor, EXTREMELY intelligent. He actually got busted down in rank for some crazy antics while down range. 🇺🇸
From the guys/ gals that sit at a desk in Nowhere USA to Delta Force to the Seals to ESAR, they all deserve our respect for doing what many don't want to and most can't do! Much respect for military personnel around the world.
I don't believe every single military person is entitled to respect. Many commit crimes, and by that I mean rape and kill their own peers, sell military secrets, torture innocent civilians, etc... many don't accomplish much while in the force, and are just a liability with lengthy criminal records. There's desk people in the military, and civilian McDonald's employees I have a great deal of respect for, and Navy seals that are detrimental to the institutions they represent.
And if you believe in God, then know most assuredly some angels wield flaming swords. Yeah, that's a good dance, destroying evil without becoming evil yet having to do 'evil' to destroy the evil. Someone has to do it, and at least they want people doing it who will keep their souls. I respect that.
@@chrisbarry9345 The real world creates massive turbulence That turbulence muddies all waters, nothing is clear It's best to approach the judgement of "evil" with great humility
That feeling of being alone, wind in your face, sweat soaked and cold, fighting hypothermia at 9,000+ feet elevation, knowing that it's up to you alone, is some soul scary shit. Being able to push on, keep going, one foot in front of the other, never quitting, never giving up, is humbling when it's finally over. Looking back, greatest moments ever, HOOAH!
9000' above sea level, eh? Most places above 9000' usually above treeline. If not, they'll be sparsely forested which makes navigation a lot easier cause you see most of the terrains in front of you. These guys train in lower elevation in tree covered mountains. It's a lot harder to navigate in those types of terrains.
My dad fought in the Philippines in WWII. He never told many stories about that, but I remember one. For three days, nonstop fighting. No sleep, no rest, no one to relieve them. 3 straight days and nights. When they were finally relieved, the men needed to be given sedatives just to sleep. Some, said he, slept for 14 straight hours. And he never said anything more about it. I was too young to understand anyways in those days. (The only other story he ever told was about giving beer to a monkey they kept.) They can't train you for that. You either have it in you, or you don't.
Ive always said this about Delta just from my experience with them being in the intel field. Delta operators are no joke the ops ive done with a couple of them completely blow me away. I worked out with them and all I gotta say is I was in the best shape of my life on those TDYs because they keep pushing you. They are also some of the nicest guys in the world and would do anything for you.
@@LibertyOrDeath-ms5rf They are basically a step above the seals. Delta can select men from any branch of the armed forces. They're the closest you can get to a real life James Bond.
It sounds like delta doesn't want someone who can get the job done. Delta wants someone who, when alone and almost broken, will find a way to build a job, then complete it. When those men are found, delta does the unthinkable, and gives them resources.
@@arieldelarosafl when I was in the regiment, most of the dudes in the unit had spent a considerable amount of time in one of the battalions. Nowadays, RRC does the same shit with the same gear.

Seems like a silly debate when it comes to such incredibly well trained men who have specific skill sets for specific tasking. I’m just thankful y’all are on our side!
Not a silly debate it's alpha male against alpha male there's always going to be some pissing contests amongst them I'm just glad they're on our side to.
Let the boys be the boys for a change lol. Im glad someone from Delta is talking trash after ALL these SEAL movies, docs, books, and all the trash they talk. The exception being Delta's sister group, DevGroup. They train together.
@@stuplant6693 Exactly. This guy saying "it's the hardest selection in the world" is disingenuous to the SAS that it's modeled on. They just do the hills phase and don't do the jungle phase.
Nearly all of their ethos is based on the SAS and it's because the guy who founded Delta force did selection with the SAS with a view to establishing an American equivalent.
I remember when I was going through my divorce, Dale was going through his at the same time. He was awesome and we spoke personally and it helped me alot and I hope it helped him as well. Glad to see he's still doing 👍

Rangers are amazing soldiers, I know from having trained with a few and having them as good friends. They are dependable af, all have a certain steel in their personality.
Except Delta is pulling from the military. Conventional forces, special forces, ranger, PJ's, SEALs, etc... David Goggins even failed Delta selection. It's not just the best of the best, it's the best of the best of the already best of the best. Not even comparable.
@@ethanchaney1139David Goggins wasn’t what he says. His teammates testimonies say he lacked a spine if you know what I mean. But still an inspirational guy
A college buddy went into the Army and ended up at the 75th Rangers. He claimed he was average at shooting. But his average was like an expert for a civilian. He decried his experience with people who would be invited to try out for Delta would be the guys who were the best at everything, PT, marksmanship, any additional schools they attended. They were just the mutants who were able to do whatever they wanted and just retained everything.
Sounds very much like UK SF selection. Delta operators and SAS/SBS and all our SF operators deserve our greatest respect grace and gratitude for their service to our continual freedom. Nuff respect for these people.
I went to boot camp as kid for trouble, and it was ran by officers from different military branches. Anyway, the baddest dude that came and smoked us(PT),was a dude in the delta. I was ready to show this old man up as I did every other drill instructor. But bro, this guy used me as an example to make sure I remembered his ass. After pt, he beat me to the T.A . Course and climed the roap, slapped the top log, said some loud crazy name with a number, and flew down to run around the course full speed. I didn't even tell u he was definitely older than 50. Dude really showed me the difference between ALL of the different branches we are blessed defending this beautiful country.
Warriors ? those guys go out and kill little boys. This man is nothing but a Mercenary who never faced an army that is as well equipped it as him and his team, they always fight people weigh more or less equipped and then them and weaker than them.
This is really amazing. I was an Army MD, but my cousin was Head of Delta Force covering S America and sat on Joint Chiefs of Staff! Proud of this soldier and my Cousin!
"All by yourself" Thats the difference, you alone with your thoughts & if they turn negative, you and only you can turn it around. Add to that at least down under nobody yelling at you, no peer pressure, no friends to cajole you., people on different bearings, going in it appears different directions. You're in a battle with your own mind.
I actually got the invite to try out for Delta, while stationed in Italy. These are the best warriors America have. I was about 32 at the time with expert marksmanship and a 300 on PT. At the time I did not know how rare this was. I told my Platoon SGT and he pretty much brushed me off. I later talked with my First Sgt. and he pulled me out of formation to give me recognition in front of the whole company. However, I was scheduled for major knee surgery so I never got to try out. Still proud I was picked.

You can see his confidence, He speaks in a correct tone of voice, He is making sure you get what He has to say, He also has a imposing "presence" very intense, extremely intelligent, and He was also an old school Delta Operator
Delta are the pivotal special forces in the United States- who work closely with the regiment/22 SAS out of Hereford. They work closely together on many operations because they are the two top special forces units in the world today. As for the training/ selection process, there is no comparison. Delta and 22 SAS have an extremely difficult selection process which is ongoing once you've been selected and badged... Myself I served 23 years in the British military... The majority of that service was outside of my unit/ my regiment... 🗡️🇺🇸🗡️🇬🇧🗡️
I remember reading a book about Colonel Charlie Beckwith, the man who was said to have created the Delta Force in mid 70's. He modeled the Delta Force based on his experience serving in the British SAS.
@@althorn2994 David Goggins not only graduated, but was the honor man in his Ranger school class. He talks about failing Delta selection in his book, which everyone should read. One of the toughest motherfuckers alive.. but didn't quite make it into Delta, due to injury and some mistakes on his part.
6:50 that's a relatable army experience. Raining non-stop, you feel like quitting, and then you remember: it's not like there's a ride out of here. You're in the middle of the woods, alone (or with a small team), cold, wet, starving, exhausted, and with more gear than you thought a human could carry... and no one is coming to get you. You could quit, but even if you quit, you have to have to get back to base on your own anyway, so why not give it a shot? Why not suck it up just a little longer? And then one foot in front of the other, and you make it. You might hate it at the time, but when you look back you're proud of yourself.
When I was in the marine corps, our MEU commander was asked how he planned to use the Seal team. He said that the previous commander had advised him that the best way to use the Seals was to make sure they don't get their boots dirty. He said that in our first Special Operations brief after he had given detailed plans for how to use every other group. He slammed them in front of everyone, and they hardly got any work.
Funny you say that because that’s pretty Much what happened with our group also. They were on the mother ship a lot that rotation. At some point they left and went some place and never came back.
@SSgtBlueUSMC0369 I will say I have met plenty of bad ass and awesome seals, but not on any MEU's. Never worked with them long enough to find out if the MEU commanders were right.
If the previous MEU commander had a problem with the SEALS, he should have reported it up the chain of command so that that problem could be addressed so that assets can be better used.
@@thebathsaltgod890 It does make sense given their missions. We’ve heard of Cag guys working by themselves conducting SR, their trained almost as individuals and they need to be self motivated.

He was talking about basic seal training vs Delta selection. What about DEVGRU vs DELTA selection...that seems like more of an apples to apples comparison...
The Delta selection he's describing was taken directly from the SAS which is why DF are the premier SF unit in the USA. It's literally the US equivalent of SAS.
i really like how they emphasized the delta force differences - my respect to all Tier one protecting our country - delta force has always been of much interest, more obscure and i have not been able to find a good video really covering this at all until now , thank you!
He's right about everything he says. The biggest battle and hardship you'll ever fight in your life is against yourself. You're not in command of things beyond you, but you can definitely control yourself. I was a UN blue berret volunteer for 3 straight years. Been through the entire middle east. There was an incident once in Afghanistan when I had a recon task alone and was left to extract by myself to the nearest base which was 320 km away: days in walking. The entire road is packed with terrible terrain and the heat and sun stubbornly want to kill you, among other things and people. I remembered, when I was a kid and used to go hunting with my dad. We didn't have a car and we had to walk huge mountains in southeastern Europe endlessly, and I was complaining that I'm tired. He used to say "c'mon, the deer ain't gonna hunt itself, you think more that you're tired than you're actually tired". This very same thought is what pulled me through the 320km path. Many thought I was dead because my radio died and I had no spare batteries.
I've met people who said that they were Navy Seals. Only one Delta Force. Never anyone that said that they washed out of the training for either. If you were selected in that 100,that's something to be proud of. No matter how it came out. God bless these men.
I met one guy I know was Delta; he didn't tell me, someone else did. I also met one guy who DOR from hell week at BUD/S. He also didn't tell me; someone else did.
I was waiting to pick up for my mos school in the marines and they sent bunch of us to the middle of nowhere outside of Fort Bragg to participate in part of the special forces training selection for delta force. They had to find us and train us in modern warfare. One of the guys had won a silver star in Grenada, but they were starving, had been in the woods for months and were some of the most badass dudes I ever met. They were down to only 11 or so when they found us and few of them were cut while they were with us including the decorated O4. I met some ghost operators while overseas later who were hardcore but those delta guys were legit. I remember thinking I wasn’t as bad as I thought i was hahaha.
@@SkunkAnonymous No way. Delta are for sure up there. Certainly one of the best. But still not on parr with the SAS both in terms of skill and ability and also in terms of legacy. The SAS are legit, they don't fail. Even when they do fail they succeed.
It the hardest selection in the world because it’s cloned off the British 🇬🇧 SAS/SBS test! Charlie Beckwith was so impressed by the UK SF selection he didn’t even alter it he cloned the copy of his Brothers across the pond, it is THE standard end of………
An old sailor (coworker) and I have had the Convo about the negative side of Seals. The point he made was the possible lack of psychological evals in Seals.

My PLDC NCO was former Delta force… he was unable to jump anymore… after 9/11 I applied for the air marshal service… after I was selected and was in training, several of the instructors said they had heard about me… when I asked the lead instructor he mentioned my PLDC NCO’s name… said he says hello and do good… they go and do but never brag about where they went nor what they did… I also was privileged to have a retired delta work as one of our trainers when I was an air marshal… he emphasized thinking, having a plan before the shit hit the fan and critical review of your training successes and mistakes
Hey there, you being an air marshal would you mind reading my question please? My 23 yo daughter that works at cracker barrel in Tennessee just flew back from Korea with her sister that just got married over there. The attendants made her switch seats and sit between two women that we think were air marshals because the stewardesses were treating them different, giving them larger bottles of water than everyone else, different meals, they had no apparent luggage after the flight and they acted like they were strangers between themselves but she thinks they were communicating with each other. She said it was truly strange and we’ve got no idea why they singled her out? Before the flight over TSA singled her out for extra scrutiny then this? She’s never even had a speeding ticket, has a bachelors degree and is the most respectful and responsible young woman you’d ever meet. What could be the reason for her getting all this extra scrutiny? Thanks for any ideas. I figured you being an air marshal I might help her (and me) have a bit of peace. Thanks a million either way and thank you for your service.
It’s said that humility is good for the soul, and this man has totally humbled me… Cut from a special clothe and worth total respect. Total. Whewwwwww.
Brother there is no shame. I get it because to this day I feel I did t do enough also. SOF in the Corps was standing up and I missed the boat because I was not really in the loop. Still haunts me to this day and when I tried to Lat move as a Staff NCO I was told pretty much you promoted your self out of any chance. Went and did the contract gig but it still stings but I end up with all the same SOF and CAG dues contracting so I guess it’s all a wash anyhow.
It's not about the money. That's not why people serve. It's about the action and the adrenaline. Camping out in the woods with your mates, getting dirty and fighting people. Nothing like it
what you dont see is all the hazard pays, incentive pays, reenlistment bonuses, the off book budget, and the nepotism given to vets when seeking jobs after getting out. Youre missing about 80% of the stuff they dont always publicize or make easy to see or the taxpayer would question way more than it already does.
@@Hippocrab you can shine a turd all you want but it's still a turd. Have you seen the suicide rates for military men. For what these guys do and accomplish they ain't paid shit. You ain't talking to a nobody. Semper Fi
They actually get paid a decent amount with all the incentive pay, etc. But it's still the military. It has to have a structure that says that you get paid by what extra incentives you're qualified for. If you're demolition qualified - extra pay. If you're in an airborne unit and jumping - extra pay. If you're deployed to combat - hazard pay. The military must have these structures though, because it is not the private sector.
I LOVE how this dude "doesn't" give details! He tells you just enough to get the gist of what happens, without telling exactly "what" happens. True silent professional.
Because of the Inter and Intra Operatorability all SAS, the country is irrelavant, and Delta operators have similar standards and therefore similar training regimes for them to be able to deploy together if required.
I'm sure that the the whole Delta thing is modeled off of The SAS selection process, like didnt a US General go to Hereford to see how its done for himself? Might be wrong but im sure ive seen that some where
@@AlmightyyBob "The idea for Delta Force originated with Col. Charles Beckwith, a Green Beret and Vietnam War veteran who was an exchange officer with the British Army's 22nd Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment."
