How to join DELTA FORCE*
About this video
Ritland’s guest Comstock recounts his experience during Delta Force selection and training.

Three days later, Max reversed course and praised him as the most capable student, demonstrating a test of mental resilience under public pressure.
Key takeaways
- Comstock describes how Delta Force selection includes mental tests disguised as criticism, where instructors publicly humiliate candidates to assess their response and resilience
- According to Comstock’s account, he used overnight visualization techniques to mentally rehearse his performance after being called out
- The instructor’s reversal from harsh criticism to praise was reportedly a deliberate test of the candidate’s ability to handle pressure and recover from setbacks
