      Same folks show up for selection out of shape and not ready, but they sent me a letter. LoL. We all got that letter. You have a relatively clean record, top fitness scores, and maybe, just maybe, made friends with some guys in the unit at various schools, you'll more often than not get an invite.

    • @deathfire096
      @deathfire096 2 месяца назад +6

      The reason DELTA had to recruit from all branches during the war was because they were dying like flies and the Army needed to fill in the spots. A former DELTA said this on the Shawn Ryan show and most people in DELTA come from Rangers and GB because it's a straight path. DEVGRU only takes the top SEALS from the teams because they have been together for years in the same community and they most know you really well making DEVGRU the tightest teams. All DEVGRU are Combat Divers while only 1 out of 6 of Army SF are and they are light C.D. Just because you put operators from different communities and branches together on their first deployment doesn't mean that they will be tight together. It doesn't work that way in war. Training for years in the same community makes the tightest team.

Try shooting at night taking over a ship or an oil rig or locking from a submarine in the cold ocean. We will see how good you are shooting under those circumstances.

    What is amazing to me is that President Joe Biden was both a SEAL and a Delta Team Member ...... this was after Joe graduated from the Naval Academy (but hurt his back while on the football team) so he had to drive 18 Wheelers for a while. His Pop worked the mines and ran the three highest selling Chevrolet dealers in Delaware as well. As a kid Joey always helped his Pop by working in the coal mine after he attend Mass, Temple, Mosque and the local black Baptist church every morning. Notwithstanding, Joey's Pop would sit at the kitchen table and then lie awake at night not knowing where the next coal mine paycheck was going to arrive (Pop got paid by the ton) or how big the bonus check from General Motors for his ownership of the top three best selling Chevy dealers would be .... Joey helped the best he could and even found time to join Martin Luther King's famous civil rights marches and then later even traveled to South Africa to demand to visit Nelson Mandela in prison.
