Das ist ein Cadre aus den Squadrons. So like a troop, one of the squadrons will go up and rotate through every, you know what I mean? B squadron might have it this time, C squadron. And then those are different guys than you see for the OTC instructors, totally different guys. It's not one and the same.
And then you'll get introduced to the instructors and you kind of get your gear together and all that. Just pretty overwhelming. Fortunately, they ease you into it. You know what I mean? Then you're doing PT, but it's, their thing is like now, We want to keep you in shape, but we don't want to break you down. You've already proven that you have what you need from a physical point of view.

That's what you just proved in West Virginia. Now, we want to train you. We have assessed you and feel like you are the correct raw material to become a Delta Operator. Now we want to train you and evaluate you to see if in fact you can become a functional member of the unit, a Delta Operator. So that's the difference there. The PT isn't designed to tear you down.

I mean, it's designed to keep you in shape, team building. Because now it is, yeah, it's individual, but now it's also, can you function as a team? How are you treated? Like adults. Yeah, no discouragement, no harassment.

Very, very little. Basically, no, and it's discouraged. It's very discouraged. Because a lot of the guys know guys in the squadrons. And they're like, you see them in chow hall, you can say hi, but that's it. You don't talk to them. And then the guys in the squadrons are told, don't interact with the guys in OTC. Denn du willst ihm keine Hinweise geben. Weißt du, was ich meine?

Zu meinem Freund, oh, schau dir das an. Das Art von Sachen. Also du bist auf beiden Seiten der Equation. Die OTC-Studierenden werden gesagt, dass sie nicht mit den Jungs in der Squadron interagieren. Die Jungs in der Squadron werden gesagt, dass sie nicht mit den Jungs in der OTC interagieren. Kannst du den Tag 1 des Trainings beschreiben? Weißt du, right off the bat, it was all about shooting.

The first two weeks was all about shooting. Dry fire. We did like... I want to say at least... I don't know if it was a week. At least like three days of dry fire before we ever made it to the range. At least. All day. All day long for the first three days. And I could be wrong on that. It may be longer. But it was all about shooting right from the start. Because they realized...

Shootin' in CQB is what that unit's all about. I mean, that's the meat and potatoes. That's the very core of what that organization's about, is Delta Operator being able to do shooting and conduct close-quarters combat. And that's everything in that organization revolved around that. Everything. Alles.
