2nd Time was it!

in CCIE
So, I passed the lab! icon_cheers.gif Got the email early this morning. That is an intense moment from the time you open the email until you get to the portal to see the results! I am SO glad this is over with now.

This was my 2nd attempt. The first was in early November and I totally underestimated the Troubleshooting section the first go around. After that I went through the CIERS2 with Caslow, continued working the INE labs and reviewing notes. The last 6 months have been nothing but lab study.

Now it's time to get back to work and life. I really feel that work is going to seem more like a vacation in comparison to the study schedule I have been following.

    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    Congrats!

    I have a bone to pick with you though, you only say "CCIE"..come on now..tell us and show off which flavor of CCIE you are and show the number...have some pride. haha

    I assume R/S? Good stuff man but this isn't "it"..this is only the beginning. I mean afterall, this is only your first CCIE right? I bet you are already thinking about the next one. icon_cool.gif

    Congrats!!! Caslow and Pav helped get me through also. I'm always suprised their names don't pop up much. They are pretty much the grandfathers/godfathers of it all.

    Congrats again!

    OUTSTANDING!!! What an achievement.

    Could you provide some tips for the other mortals hoping to achieve networking god like status? Study materials? How much time we should we expect to study? CCIE Written to CCIE Lab time?
