Just another obligatory pass notice. The exam was far more difficult than I gave it credit for. Don't write off any topic of study; that's all I'll say. Happy to have it out of the way as it kinda feels like a "need to have" cert out here in the world of DoD Contracting.

    Thanks guys. Not sure where to go from here just yet. I feel like I've had my face in a book since last spring so I'm going to take a short break. From there? I'm leaning towards CCNA: Security OR SSCP.

    Not sure which direction you want to go in if you want to work for the DoD - DoD 8570.1m | Information Security Certifications Guide

    I've done SSCP and went to CISM - the upper rungs of the matrix are dominated by isc2 and ISACA. The GSE virtually no one has - it's considered as one of the hardest Infosec certs out there - like CCIE used to be :)

    Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
    When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man.
