Just Passed the Security+

I was a bit hesitant to take this test, pushing it off for 6 Months. I bought the Gibson book, Great Resource. Read it Once and cramed this morning a copy of ***********.com over breakfast at the Silver Diner.

I passed the test 835 of 900. Checking out the DOD directive, not knowing my certification path I know I need to obtain A+ and Net+ prior to 2011.

I'm glad the MCSA Sec is not in spec for DOD 8570, I should procrastinate anymore

Congrats on the cert. You should probably check the resources you use better, though. Since whatever you crammed over this morning is filtered out, I'm assuming it's from a braindump.

Security+ is a higher cert (Level II) than A+ and Net+ (Level I). As far as 8570 is concerned you have surpassed the need for those two. That is clearly stated in the paragraphs above the chart in the appendix. But hey, if you want them then do it. -

congrats, what gibson book was this?

Oh and according to staff here, even though your certs are lifetime doesnt mean anything, you have to actually recertify.

Or upgrade.
