Hi,
Long time lurker on the forum here.
After initially studying for the CCENT about 1.5 years ago I finally smashed in the exam before the changes came in place. Wish I didn't take so long to get around to booking it! Passed it with a score in the high 800s and 30 minutes left.
I used CBT nuggets and Wendell Odom books.
Gonna go straight into the ICND2 v3, can anyone recommend any video lessons for it?
Then once I've got a couple more certs I can leave the military 

Anyway thanks to for information and guidance on this forum to stay motivated!
