How do I keep my certification alive?
Recently passed Security Plus a few weeks ago.
I read on the CompTia website about the whole continuing education thing, but a lot of the websites offered are sites you have to pay for.
I understand I have to pay the 47 dollars a year for 3 years, but what exactly can I use as continuing education?
I'm in the military, so I have access to Skillport and various online training assets.
I'm taking a Windows 7 bootcamp in a few weeks. Would this be good to put as continuing education for Security Plus?
Could I do CCNA or CISSP Skillport classes?
What's something that you use for CE?
Oh and I hope everyone is having a happy holiday so far.

I'm wondering what else I can use.
If the military is sending you to classes, those can definitely be used. Once you take the time to submit the CEUs, you'll see how easy the process really is.
CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ Blogs
Daily Network+ and Security+ Test Taking Tips on Twitter
The Security+ is a lot more difficult to update in this method than the A+ and Net+, but something like the CCNA:Sec or SSCP can update your security+.
I know they had a .pdf file somewhere explaining it in detail at one point. I can't find it, but I found a link: CE Program: Renewing Through Other Certifications
