This dude reminds me of my neighbor. You wouldn't know he was one of the most fierce warriors this planets ever seen. Thats why I always loved Delta.

[AviationWP]

When Shipley (Seal Team Six) was asked why they didn’t carry a pistol in case their rifle jammed up he answered (paraphrasing), "I don’t need to. If my rifle jams my teammate will get the guy I couldn't."

[renanterezan]

The thing is, they are not just really good operators, they are a team of really good operators that bonded deeply and work as a team on a high level of synergy with the best tools available

"Throw chem lights and try to keep up." Needs to be on a shirt!

Imagine being an Army Ranger or Green Beret which, in itself, is considered a "badass" in the military..but only ten percent of them could even qualify to be in Delta Force..let that sink in. Back in the day when I was at Fort Bragg training to be an Airborne..a group of them with their special class-a outfits walked by, our instructor said "if you're ever captured in combat and a rescue team is sent to get you..they're the ones who'll come, and they always finish their job."

Cousin is a Seal and he would tell me about training with Delta was another level and made you step up your game !!!!🤙🏽😎

There's an obstacle course behind 82nd ( circa 80's) that we'd run, we thought we were the kings of the place. These dudes ran right over the top of us like we weren't even there. Picked up their rucks and ran off. The unit is full of bless em'

There's a reason why these DO's are tier 1, humble pie is always served till you finally catch up!!

CQB training is intense. Achieving that intuitive skill in just an 8-man squad is a challenge.

[walterfisher]

A Naval commander told me that during “ Take the Ship” drills with Seal teams, they had 24 hour notice of the planned assault. Everyone was issued laser ( laser tag ) weapons and awaited the assault. The Seals routinely took the ship in minutes without suffering a “ causality “. The “ Brass” were amazed to be shot through portholes as the Seals “ fast roped “ headfirst onto the ship, killing every “ engagement “ on their way. All were humbled by this knowing this was Standard Operating Procedure for them by surprise and in the dark of night not the light of day and 24 hour notice.

The Unit is world renowned for free flow CQB. 22 SAS gets a lot of credit for some the og CQB methods however “free flow” was a trade that CAG pioneered and mastered. It’s what separates them from everyone else in the world.

Nothing like a well oiled machine. You do a job enough times with the right crew of guys all on the same page working and achieving the same goal. It is something to behold I have been on more than a few crews that ran this way. We had everything down pat and we all were anticipating each other’s next move. And when you throw a new guy in the mix they either scramble to keep up our you are dragging dead weight! It can be unbelievably frustrating when you get guys put into your rotation that don’t know their ass from there hole in the ground. You can tell in one day if they are going to work or not. At which point us as team walk together to the higher ups and let them know this isn’t going to work out. Just the way it is some people have it and others just don’t. You have to believe you can be at the top of your game before you even start to try to be. Repetition is everything and you are only good as your last guy you are only as strong as your weakest link. Then when you have it down so cold that it is a natural reflex there isn’t anything that your crew can’t accomplishes. But there is absolutely proof in that if you don’t use it you lose it. Even if you are off for a few days it will screw everything up you can still do the job with your eyes closed but you definitely lose that edge. So happy to know that these are the guys on our side! But I expect nothing less from our country considering over half of our year’s budget is spent on our military and defense spending. Great video GodBless these men that protect all us so the innocent don’t have to.

For people commenting comparing SEALS, DELTA, DEVGRU, SOCOM, MARSOC or Green barrets. CIA shooting quals are intense for contractors no matter the branch. They are special forces and make no mistake they are thinking soldiers. Depending on the situation you might need a green barret over a delta operator. Just remember they all served they all sacrificed something usually a part of themselves. Men that lost their lives their brothers.

Before comparing remember all these men could out fight, out shoot, out run, out lift, out perform 98% of people on the planet. Respect them, help them as and be thankful for their service and dedication.

Being on a Delta team’s target list is like a badge of honor for the bad guys. Now, they know for certain they will die for their cause.

My dad trained delta force at its beginning under jimmi carter in 77-80 my dad served 30yrs 1950-80 i served 20yrs army airbourne ranger qcb was a art so dangerous god bless america

[MasterX]

Delta has you all by yourself. It's all on the individual. Teams are a dream. I remember seeing them do PT tests. Their 1 mile mark was Olympic times. They stand out in the field. If you approach one training in the Forrest, he'll throw artillery simulators and training grenades at you.

[timkenniker]

Ive seen ignorant comments about people going on Podcasts and telling their stories, I'm so glad these people are giving us civilians a small look into military operations.

[randyrhyne]

I trained at Mott Lake in early 1980. Our instructors were Delta and old Blue Light guys. We shot a lot of .45 ammo and became very proficient at clearing rooms. Even with all that practice I doubt if we were as good as they are now. SFC Poole was the best shot with a 1911 that I have ever seen. Tiny and the Vegetable Man weren't slouches either.

[LtVictor]

I was watching 2 former deltas do a training, and the breacher was making eye and chin (head direction) movements on doors that had the second operator react instantly to how he wanted to open the door

[tracyemms]

I loved this interview thank you to the both of you!
