Newcomer to Texams
Hello all,
Just wanted to say hi, and dig into these forums. I'm in the DOD, mid level in information assurance area. I just recently passed my CCNA two weeks ago. It had been something I've been starting and stopping for oh 7 years. My current job has nothing to do with routers/switches so passing didn't do much for me, other than my ego! I have the standard 3 comptia a, net, sec. Seeing as how CASP would be a nice 8570 jump for me, I was thinking of going that route next. Any advice on that? My eventual goal is the lofty CISSP or CISM. I haven't yet decided, as I don't know much about either exam. Other than the CISSP salary is nice, and the test is grueling. I'm also considering PMP. The problem is I have 5-7 years of experience, so I would have to get an associate cert on some of them.
So, is the CASP a worthwhile stop on the way to one of the either two?
Lastly, are there any good free resources out there for the CASP?

edit or any good Security channels
With the study resources available for the CISSP and the great posts on TechExams, you can certainly pass it if you put in the study time for a few months.
