How America's Delta Force Became an Elite War-fighting Unit
Do you want to be the best?
by Sebastien Roblin
Here's What You Need To Remember: Today, Beckwith’s vision still informs Delta Force’s selective training regimen. To even qualify for the Delta Operator Training Course (OTC), Delta recruits must possess years of experience, with qualification for parachute operations, a “Secret” security clearance, and a clean disciplinary record.
Just how much torture is a person willing to undergo to get a prestigious job? Given that an average of 250 resumes are submitted for every job position in the United States, one would assume quite a lot.
But there’s writing endless resumes—and then there’s running forty miles at night on an uneven forest trail while lugging a fifty-pound rucksack—with more weight added upon achieving each waypoint.
And to even get into the application pool for that particular job, you first have to master the art of willingly jumping out of a perfectly functional airplane.
