Delta Force Selection, do you think its strictly a fixed time or a whole-candidate judgement?
Since the time standard for Delta's Long Walk has never been made public, do you think it's a fixed cutoff, or is it flexible depending on the candidate?
For example, if a candidate scored well above the minimum on the intelligence tests, might they still pass if they finished the Long Walk slightly over the time limit? What about other strengths, like fluency in a specific language, natural leadership, being well liked, or other valuable personality traits? Could the "standard" be adjusted for them?
I know a flexible standard sounds like an oxymoron, but since the time is never disclosed, I wonder whether passing depends on more than a specific time and is really a combination of factors. inb4 no one knows..
