Need Help with Endorsement

Between deployments, family emergencies and work, I have not been able to find an endorser or fill out my paperwork to get the official CISSP certification. I took the test 18 months ago and am nervous that I will have to start over...

You would think being in the Army it would be easy to find someone to endorse me. So I am asking if anyone who is in military with AKO address who would consider endorsing me? I want someone with AKO or similiar because I am willing to send my awards and NCOERs to prove 5 years of work experience through these documents. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Endorsement Time Limit:
All candidates who pass an (ISC)² credential examination must get endorsed within a time period of no longer than nine (9) months.

I Think this is new rules (afaik) , its better to check with their support (live support).

Whew, I got nervous for a minute, this is what i got from ISC2

William,

If you passed your exam before Jan 1, 2012, you do not need to retake the exam. IF you passed the exam after Jan 1, then you need to get endorsed within 9 months of your passing date.

Best regards,

But the problem still remains, I need a sponsor. Nobody in my unit is a CISSP . Is there any service member or contractor on this board willing to endorse me ? I have 7 years of NCOERs(Annual review) and an award that specifically mentions a DA level Information Assurance Inspection, proving experience in the domains. Thanks!

I believe you can have (ISC)2 endorse you directly.

Here is the form:
