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.
