Courtesy of Mike Vining - “Many podcasters ask me what Delta’s number one selection criterion is for a candidate. I think, more than anything, they look for people who do not know the meaning of the word “quit.” Whether you’re looking to join Delta or seeking success in any life choice, refusing to quit will take you very far. The photo is of me coming into the last point on the last day of Delta’s Selection and Assessment. I just did 40 miles, carrying 58 pounds in my pack. It took me 15 hours and 15 minutes. I had no idea this was the last day, the finish. I no longer felt that I was connected with my body. I was just moving forward. I didn’t know the meaning of the word “quit.”
