“Hi im bill” said one of the most dangerous men on the planet

If they introduced themselves all with first names, they're absolutely operators😂

When the A Team is required to do 15 minutes of practice at the range a week 😂

[Abrxas]

LOL, someone forgot they still needed to qualify on their weapons and they had to get it done before deploying....

I was in the Navy in the 90’s. My cruiser was steaming in the Western Pacific with its sonar running as usual and sonar got a once in a career submerged contact, a submarine. We radioed the contact to 7th Fleet in Yokosuka and started following the sub. A few minutes later 7th Fleet told us to turn off our sonar, change heading 90 degrees, and steam that direction for two hours. Apparently we found one of our own subs and weren’t supposed to.

As a regular infantry guy, I've had SF guys hijack the shoot house one time when we were there. But it was totally cool because one of their guys gave us a class while they were running a shoot house.

One of the best classes and experiences I have ever had.

This happened to me, I was OIC for a shoot house. We got shut down, no explanation. Then, several SUVs showed up MARSOC guys. They ran through the house very quickly. I asked if they had time to teach a quick hip pocket class to the Marine 03s that were about to deploy. They said, "Hell yeah, " they taught a class and showed an example of how to do things quickly, silently, and professionally. I then told the class that's what happens when you train and take what you do seriously. You become a professional at your job.

On one of my deployments, I had this interaction with a couple of guys that stuck with me. I was doing some training to keep my JTAC certifications and weapons qualifications up to date when two guys showed up. They introduced themselves by name—just first names, nothing unusual—and started chatting with us. They were surprisingly laid back, cracking jokes and talking like it was just another day.

Then they ran a drill, and it was like nothing I’d ever seen. They weren’t flashy or trying to show off, but everything they did was smooth and deliberate. Their movements were efficient, their transitions flawless—it was like watching a well-rehearsed performance. Everyone else just kind of stopped what they were doing to watch.

When they were done, they came back over like nothing happened, still joking and talking like regular guys. They grabbed their gear, told us to, “Stay safe out here, ” and moved on. It wasn’t until later that someone mentioned they were “D boys, ” and everything clicked. They didn’t act like anything special, but after seeing them in action, it was obvious they were operating on a whole different level.

I was running convoy missions in Iraq in 08-09 bringing people from point A to point B in country. We had three guys show up and I would describe them as highly tactically geared civilian paramilitary looking. Nobody was allowed to ride Red aside from the gunners, period. These guys handed our LT a letter from the Pentagon that said they could, but not why or who they were. They stopped us before we got where we were going and got out of the truck with all their stuff and disappeared into the North-East end of Baghdad on foot.

At Ft Bragg, while recovering from an ied blast....I once befriended a 5ft5 Hispanic dude. He was nice and had a nice family. I went to his for cookouts on weekends. He would take me to the range where he and his friends trained other spec ops dudes. This went on for a few months. One day he asks me if I want to meet the team and see the operations center. Next thing I know I'm in the tactical command center of JSOC....half wierded out and wondering who tf is my new friend.
He was in DELTA, a legit warrior!!

[King_of_Apathy]

one of the coolest things i ever got to see and take part in was during OIF in Baghdad a group of SF guys came in to our AO they had an EOD detachment that needed vehicle repairs, and they had a Marine scout sniper with them, getting to talk with them and look at their gear, hold the sniper riffle, AMAZING, the sort of stuff you see in movies and video games. they were "older" guys and grizzly, unshaved, missing patches and regular uniform identifiers. they were the super cool, but definitely the type of people who got what they wanted when they wanted, how they wanted, regardless of the fact that they had no orders, or chain of command, obvious rank, etc. very obviously serious guys with serious jobs.

[AlderaansRanger]

When I was in high school this girl in had English class with had the coolest dad. I’d seen him pick her up from school and talk to him at my part time job. Turned out 20 years before he’d been a Ranger and then gone to SF and then Delta. Happiest go lucky guy. Showed me some cool pics too. Faces of other guys blurred out. And he had some cool stories. Ofc the locations he didn’t reveal. But he loved his time.

[arewecrazyyet]

One of my drill sergeants was delta force. Imagine what that was like. He once told me that it was good that the blood vessels on my arms were narrow because, "you will bleed slower WHEN you get shot". He then said, "but the baby fat you have will make you bleed faster!". Sergeant Rivera from Nicaragua. Big dude. Deep voice.

[nathanielbowers]

Met a Delta guy while helping in NC for Hurricane Helene recovery. Guy's name was "Z" and that was all we needed to know

[RainbowShenanigans]

They may be the most dangerous men on the planet, but 90%+ of the time they are the chillest and most instructive people ever! They have no problem whatsoever teaching you techniques that they utilize to help keep you alive in combat! Both my deployments my units got the opportunity to do missions alongside SF units! Some of the coolest and most chill guys you’ll ever meet!

[SuperRyan]

Those guys shut down one of our road marches in the mid nineties. They politely told our SFC in charge we were done in "This area". BDU pants and flannel shirts, no rank to be seen. Our NCOIC started to protest, but seconds later thought better of it. Our trucks pulled up and we relocated to Chicken Road

Either they needed to burn unused ammo so they don't get their ammo allotment cut the next quarter or they needed to respond range certification quickly before a mission.
