What happens when a broke, hungover Ohio kid accidentally throws a beer bottle in front of a cop car, watches 9/11 unfold on a CRT TV, and decides to radically change the trajectory of his life? You get Aaron Love. In this solo mic-drop of an origin story, Aaron walks us through his chaotic rise from “littering charge degenerate” to USAF Pararescueman. From failed college attempts and $0.50 beer nights to literal jail time and getting smoked in Florida with boats and logs, Aaron lays it all bare—failures, comebacks, and all. This isn’t just a PJ pipeline story. It’s a redemption arc wrapped in sarcasm, sweat, and service.

Prepare to meet the man behind the mic—the oldest, grumpiest, most entertainingly reckless member of the Ones Ready crew. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll probably Google “Can you really get arrested for littering?”

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Aaron failed out of college for water polo and beer. Priorities, right?
• 9/11 flipped a switch—he went from aimless to all in.
• First attempt at Indoc? Crashed and burned (his words).
• Spent years rebuilding as a fistic... then clawed his way back.
• Passed the PAST test hungover (don’t try that).
• Got arrested for littering... yes, really.
• Rolled an ankle at Indoc... playing Dreamcast in quarters.
• Had to refire ditch & don—on his last chance, last breath.
• Smoked with boats in Florida. You know you f**ked up when that happens.
• Somehow got sent to England. His wife was thrilled. (She wasn’t.)
