Alright stand at ease gents.
I don't know how many of you guys are military or DoD personnel, but for those who are here's a site I've been going to for years:
https://www.marinenet.usmc.mil
I've been using it for courses on things like rifle maintenance, urban warfare training, etc. But this morning I was on the site and noticed there's a Computer/IT section. Within this section are classes for Cisco, Microsoft, Linux/Unix, etc.
I browsed through the CCNA classes and they seem semi in depth and pretty much follow the Sybex book I'm using right now. The thing I like about this is that the classes are in slideshow format with easy to understand animated diagrams that act out what you're reading. Some classes are narrated as well and explain to you what you're reading as you read it. (As we'd say in the Corps, this site breaks it down barney style)
These classes probably aren't enough by themselves to prepare for the CCNA. But it is another resource that is way more exciting than sitting with your face in a book for endless hours at a time. Plus it's FREE!!!
To create a profile you have to submit your name, birthday and SSN. Your credentials will be checked to verify your military or DoD status and then you'll receive a password.
