# A rare glimpse of life as a Delta Force operator

With movies like "American Sniper" and "Lone Survivor," the Navy SEALs are on par with most figures in American pop culture.

Using the non-scientific method of [Amazon.com book search](<https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/navy-seal-books/>) reveals that there are way more books associated with the SEAL teams than any other American elite unit, giving filmmakers a rich source of story materials.

With such a huge spotlight on these warriors, the general public is either unaware or often forgets about the 1st SFOD-Delta, also known as Delta Force.

Most will argue that it's by design, but either way, it's rare to catch a glimpse of life in "The Unit."

But, that's what we get in this interview with Tayler Grey and [Larry Vickers](<https://www.vickerstactical.com/about-larry-vickers.html>) of [Vickers Tactical](<https://www.vickerstactical.com/>), both of which served in the same unit during different times.

This video dives into Grey's motivations to serve, his journey to becoming a member of "The Unit," and his remarkable story about overcoming adversity.
