Needed an investment in myself after all of the stupid crap was going on in my life.

Been studying for 3 years for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (Since my medical discharge after 15 years). Company I am working for bought out making future uncertain... on top of all the really crap personal and family issues going on. Plus I don't know how long I will be able to handle doing lots of physical work with my 24x7x375 pain.

Decided I was going to save up $5000 to take a trip to DC to attend a boot camp and take the test following the class.

GOT out of the testing center after 2 hours (of a 6 hour timeframe), and ...


I PASSED!

I have needed some real good news for a long time. Could not have done it without my wife. She has spent her spare time going through all the books that I bought making flashcards for me to take everywhere.

Sorry had to tell somebody.

If you work hard enough, good things will come your way!

Congratulations! Great investment to make in yourself.

When I took it in 2008, they graded by hand and you had to wait a month to get the results. Don't put off the CPE's; the deadline will creep up on you.

Will be going for it as soon as I get through CCNA and CCNA Security.

Great job. When I took mine, it left me with a headache for about 3 days. And we had to wait 6 weeks before we knew if we passed or not.
