Hello everyone!

Just going to write a short bio, if you've read a little about me already, my name is Brad, I live in the Triad of North Carolina in the US. I am 22 years old, I like hockey, music, cars, and car audio. Now on a professional standpoint, I like Real Estate Investing, Aviation, Aviation Maintenance, Businesses, Computers, Small Businesses, Internet Marketing, and a few others.
I went into the military on Nov 4 2008, right out of High School when I was 18. I ended up starting out as a HH-60 Crew Chief Mechanic (Blackhawk Helicopter), although I ended up cross training shortly after moving to my permanent base, when I had the offer to go skydiving one day and went up, and had a 30 second introduction on how to sky dive, and literally got pushed out of the aircraft in mid-sentence while talking to my Sergeant lol.. I hated him for that. But I cross-trained into Special Operations - Combat Search and Rescue. From there I ended up traveling constantly, and being in a different country usually every week/2 weeks, to include: South America, Africa, Europe, Austrailia, Japan, Russia, Afganistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, England, UK, Iceland, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and many more places. In total, I've been in over 40-50 countries. Although on my last mission in Afganistan on April 19th 2010, I ended up getting severely injured (Don't worry, I'm all healed up now although still have minor problems) and was shot a total of 11 times, fractured my ankle, broke 7 ribs, and tore the cartilage in my right knee, I was emergency Evac'd out of Afganistan back to the United States, where I was rushed into surgery. From there, I sat behind a desk, and worked on paperwork for about 7 months while doing physical therapy and then on Jan 10 2011 I received my medical discharge, and that was my official last day of the military. I severely miss it, but at the same time, I'm glad I am out..
Now I am in school currently, learning about Aviation Maintenance to get my license to work on aircraft, I am hoping to pursue Government Contracting jobs which is where the real money is for Aircraft mechanics, and I would most likely be moving back over to the Middle East, I currently have a contract I am negotiating for next year which I would be living in Saudi Arabia in Abu Dhabi working on AH-64 Apache Helicopters. Although, preferably, I would like to have my Internet Marketing Income already working for me, and I would prefer to just quit my current job, and end up just living off of Internet Marketing.
As far as Internet Marketing and me are concerned, I have researched it for nearly 3 years, on and off, and I have just not had the means to be able to implement it nor the time to be able to do anything.. Over the time I've researched it, I've gained access to about 25,000 articles in many diverse niches, I've learned about CB, article directories, and many other areas as well. I am just not sure where to turn at this point, and if you have any suggestions on ways to monetize my articles, and be able to make a sustainable income online, please, help me figure out where I can turn to!
I know this is a really long blog entry, but thank you to all who have read through it all, and thank you to those that just skimmed it ;)
Have a good day everyone :)

Brad, seen you a lot within chat and it is great to see you being an active part of the community here. You have a lot of experiences to share and you have a lot of ideas that you are going to be able to put into action here online.
This next 3 years should be ones of action. Learning is just that, learning. If you are not taking consistent action the learning will become "history" and success will not follow. I think you have a bright future ahead of you, your first focus should be taking regular action and moving forward within consistent progress.
Again, great to have you here bro and thanks for sharing your story. :)
Thank you Kyle,
I must say that out of all of the IM forums/communities I have been involved with, I must say, that WA would have to be my favorite by far as the members are here to help you, not profit off of you.
I do agree that I should be starting out with actions, and I do plan on starting out with actions, and i believe I've gained more than enough knowledge on the topic, now its just a matter of ending up learning how to start actually monetizing it finally :) And thank you for having hope and support for me, I am definitely ambitious to end up starting to create that first $1 in my paypal account and can't wait to see it!
Thanks and glad to be here, and figured some people might like to see a non-original and uncommon bio once in awhile, it's been an adventure for a few years, and its been interesting, but it has been anything but ordinary, and I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything...
