Hello, I am the Chief of /t/TodayILearned and the character limit on titles makes it difficult to summarize submissions to the Tribe. It would be really nice if we could increase the allowed title length.

10 years ago+2 2 0Let's start a newbie thread! Ask questions about joining the Air Force or general inquiries about the Air Force and what it is that we do.
Some quick answers: You'll find a lot of answers to basic questions about BMT or enlisting in the AF here: http://afbmt.com/[3] We don't know the answers to your obscure medical questions. We aren't doctors. Don't trust medical advice given by strangers on the Internet. Yes, if you did hardcore drugs above trying marijuana a few times, you are disqualified. No, we don't know what jobs are available at any given time, or your chances of getting said job, or how long it will take for you to get the job, or how long it'll take for you to get to basic training. Yes, some recruiters are lazy. Keep hounding them or find another recruiter. Being a pilot is hard. Most of them come from the Air Force Academy, then ROTC. Very few slots available for OTS. Highly competitive. If you're interested in special operations/combat related jobs, read this site: http://specialtactics.com/[4] .
Yes I stole this from /r/airforce it's gold why would I make my own?

10 years ago+3 3 0A cash Crate guide
Now you should have already signed up, if not go ahead and do that before we continue. Another thing to do would be setting up your survey profiles so you actually receive surveys. Throughout your day you're going to want to have a look at the "Top surveys" section. Here you'll find the best paying surveys. Make sure you've set up your profile fully on the right otherwise you may not get much surveys. The surveys here usually pay from $.60 and I get a minimum of two a day. Try to complete ALL of them the day you receive them otherwise they may disappear. The "Surveys" section is where you will find all your daily surveys which you can only complete ONCE a day until you're credited. I usually have around 10 offers here but my favourites are "SaySoForGood", "GiveUsYourTwoCents" and "OpinionSurvys". Try to do atleast all your daily surveys everyday because they will always be back tomorrow. The daily surveys section may be different depending on which country you're from but you should always have 1. The BonusOffers section is another wall I also like. They mainly have paid offers but if you click on "free" or "surveys" there are plenty of non paid offers. I always try to do the 65c "Samplicio.us" daily survey because they're generally short and very easy! By completing those three steps I usually make around $2-6 for only about a hour or two of my time. If you want more however, check out the other walls. Some tips beginners do not take into account try not to use blatently fake information, for example don't say you're a 80 year old woman who's expecting a baby next week and is the CEO of a multi million dollar company. They DO check these and they may reverse your points if you get caught. Do not give up. When I was new to GPT sites, took me a whole two months to make $5 and now I can do it in about a week or even a day. Keep doing it and you WILL get better. Use a sandbox or virtual machine for down loadable offers. They'll save you time from having to clean your pc if the offer is infected. clear your entire browsing history EVERYDAY. I've found that I get some new surveys once I've cleared my cookies. If you don't want to lose all your other history, use one browser for normal use and a different one for beer money. Some people say that doing this has no effect but there's no harm in doing it anyway! Finally, Don't rush!!!! Surveys have spntanious checks to look for people who rush. Do not get caught out by this or you'll get disqualified instantly.
