Send us a text Nothing screams “lifelong dream” like failing your IFT on day one. That’s right—72 cones showed up to the hardest pipeline in the world and tripped over the mile-and-a-half run like it was a banana peel. The Ones Ready crew (Peaches, Aaron, and Trent) put on their disappointed dad faces and rip into the excuses, bad prep, and pure clownery. From BMT “downtime” myths to pipeline “optimizations” that may or may not save the Air Force from itself, this is a no-filter roast of what’s broken, what’s fixable, and why mediocrity isn’t an option. Strap in: it’s equal parts therapy session, rant, and savage life advice. 🔥 Key Takeaways: 72 people failed the IFT on day one—yes, really. Excuses range from “no time at BMT” to “the cadre was mean.” Spoiler: still your fault. Minimum standards = maximum failure. Pipeline changes may cut wasted time by 70%. “Don’t wear your stenciled shirt after you quit” = timeless wisdom. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready, Clowns Ready 05:30 72 Failures in One Day—WTF? 11:45 BMT excuses obliterated 19:00 Why minimums = guaranteed failure 24:00 You owed us—take your lumps 34:00 Pipeline “optimization” gossip 47:00 Building facilities that don’t suck 54:00 Aircraft, egos, and dumb leadership stories 1:03:00 Why bad info spreads like herpes in finance 1:06:15 Consistency: Run more, suck less 🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Like the episode 🔔 Subscribe 💬 Drop your hot take in the comments 🌟 Leave us a review 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership 👕 Grab merch at onesready.com Support the show Join this channel to get access to perks: HERE Buzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.com Collabs: Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLete Danger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY DFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY Hoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY ...
