In Delta Force training pipeline, unlike other elite Special Operations, you do every task alone.
You are told the task, but not how to do it or how long it should take.
The training principally will be marksmanship, close quarters battle and land navigation.
Undoubtedly, the candidate will ask the Cadre, "What's the score or what's the time."
The answer is the same every time, "DO YOUR BEST!"
This is the NCAA and that is the mindset. To be the best, you just have to go all out. Do your best.
You do not ever know if it will be enough. You may rise to the challenge or you may fail. However, when you just do your best and leave it all out there, there is a good shot that you will advance.
Delta twice per year puts out letters to every person in military who has particular GT Score, Fitness Level Score, Rank, Time in Service. They will get a letter of invitation. One can respond or not respond. Twice per year, about 100+ will arrive for Delta Assessment & Selection. There will be classes where 0 pass, 1 pass or 10 pass. You just never know who DID THEIR BEST. To be eliminated it takes unanimous cadre to send someone home. They can try again next time. To continue, all it takes is one cadre member who believes that the candidate is always "Doing their best."
So to Lehigh Wrestlers...continue to "DO YOUR BEST." Whether up or down in score in a match, be relentless. Go for big moves if you have to. Never concede that you have lost. Be like a Rob Rohn and go big if you have to if down. DO YOUR BEST.
Just as LEHIGH put the picture of NCAA Champions on the wall. The Delta Hallway puts up the pictures of each graduating class of Delta Operators whether it be a picture of 1 or a group picture of 10. It is not easy to get up on the Wall. But when you do, it is a reminder to everyone who aspires behind you that YOU CAN BE THE BEST!
