    Zrock (nice name!)- I definitely understand I'm extremely fortune given my circumstances- primarily the ability to be selective in my job search. That's something I have worked towards for a long time.

    Quick summary- I've been in IT as a whole for 7 years. 6 of those were in the U.S. Army. I'm currently a lead network engineer. I'd say I have 4 years of full-time networking experience, the other three were general IT/helpdesk type work.

    It's really pretty attainable. I'm no different than anyone here (or anywhere), I just constantly worked at it, and it's slowly paying off.

    Mrock, thanks for the background clarification. I am a vet too, unfortunately not in an IT field. But hey, most importantly, CONGRATS!

    Congrats! Definitely a positive reinforcement thread of what hard work can get you. Only 7 years of IT experience and you studied your butt off i'm sure and got what you wanted. Good job! Makes me seem lazy studying for CCNA for over a year lol.

    Hah! I wish! I am doing pretty much exclusively nexus projects so far- which is inline with what I did before this job..but it's more in depth and generally just cooler!
