I feel very, very sorry for him after reading how horrible he has it. And the way he sacrificed himself and encouraged Dave to leave him and to side with you. He's a martyr, and I admire his courage. So selfless.

He only did that to try and gain points with me. He is sooooo transparent.

I don't think Dave is being completely honest about being an Army Ranger. I think he was one of those Delta Force badasses. He's gonna skin and quarter Skillet with fingernail clippers.

I never even considered things like Ranger school, jump school, or especially Delta. I was just a regular old run-of-the-mill D.A.T.

I think (key word being "think") that Delta drafts it's guys from other Special Ops units like SEALS, Rangers, Special Forces, Marine Force Recon, CIA, etc. Basically if you show that you're a badass among those baddasses, then you might get a chance at being a member of Delta.

Being in Armor, I never really dealt much with aviation. Are you looking to be a pilot or something like a mechanic / crew chief?


It's always been a dream of mine to be a pilot so that would be my first goal.

I'd take anything really though. Been looking at a bunch of stuff (POG stuff) and it all sounds good.

You pretty much get "tapped out" in your company and they may offer you a slot in training, but it is about 80%fail rate....no shame, those guys got to have facial hair and looked mean as shite!
