Delta Force is absolutely the most "badass" contract you will get. To get here though, you need to have a background in Special Forces already. It’s not something you can "apply" to, they are extremely selective with their candidates and sometimes require a "higher education" such as some type of college degree.

There are always ways around this though. If you can contact an SF recruiter and explain your situation and desires, he may put you in contact with a DF "recruiter" and point you in the right direction.

Your record is the primary key into getting this type of program. I would suggest you look into Ranger School first. Your chances are much higher to getting into that than anything else.

After your initial contract, assuming you become a ranger, you will be more eligible for Delta Force.

Delta Force doesn’t really exist. Lots of smoke and mirrors. You will never get an official answer from anyone regarding this type of Unit. You need to network yourself with the right people and correspond with people you know can get you an "interview".

Don’t take any other answer here seriously unless the person admits to being a prior DF member. Which no one really will.

Good luck.

Good luck with going Delta. I went to the briefing twice. first time I chickened out, as i wanted to see my kids grow up. The second time they threw me the line that Delta takes better care of family members than regular Army, so I went for it. Failed the Psych exam. Well, i was ‘ not the required material’. Too psycho? Not psycho enough? I dont know.
As far as Rangers go, they MAKE A HOLE for Delta to go in. I dont know if you were around for the Iran Hostage crisis, but while delta was busy pulling bodies out of the burning wreckage of their aircraft in Iran, Ranger danger was ALREADY THERE, and secured an airfield for Delta’s return trip.
If you want to truly, ‘go for the gusto’, go airborne, Air Assault, Ranger, then try for SF, then if you are not a psychotic basket case by then, go delta. Combat engineer is a good start. i have a friend who spent his whole career finding things that go boom. He has trained troops around the world, and has recently been in Afghanistan on an international task force finding out where all these IEDs are coming from. Hush hush stuff. He is being groomed for a slot in the CIA or something.
I retired as a lowly mechanic, which gave me the opportunity to serve in Armor, infantry, Artillery, Cav, and worked with ranger danger, too. believe it or not, but delta has its own mechanics, that is part of their sales pitch to Army Mechanics. you learn to rebuild and operate everything from weed eaters to train locomotives, and go on missions that might require a specialist grease monkey. Also, they use you as a practice ‘hostage’ or bad guy in training. so you get your a## beat on a regular basis.
If you plan on going this route, dont plan on keeping a lasting relationship with anything other than your weapon. You will spend about one month every year training in each type of environment, Desert, Arctic, tropical, and temperate climates, not to mention all kinds of little rapid deployment exercises.
One thing people might not realize. Delta occasionally comes knocking. for some reason your name comes up on a list. mine did twice. you DONT have to already be SF or anything else. just what they are looking for at the time. you DO have to go airborne and air assault IF they select you, then IF you pass that, THEN you start your ultimate badass training.
just remember that all of this is good training, and you can be the ultimate badass, but it is all for a REASON, protecting this nation, and helping others be free. dont blow things up just because you like the pretty flash.

Let me ask a simple question first; can you speak a foreign language? If not SF is not an option.
