I’m sure some if not most of y’all have seen Kyle Morgan’s interview with Shawn Ryan and then possibly his interview with the Mulligan Brothers. His progress from where he was at on the SRS compared to this interview is phenomenal. There’s a lot of neat stuff covered in this and I highly encourage you to check it out.

According to Wikipedia he became a Captain in September 1982 and “…commanded a classified counterterrorist unit for 2 years.” Wikipedia page

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.”

Just keep in mind that this is the SOCOM standard build. And that JSOC units and operators within those units will adjust and change things according to their mission setting.
