Cisco Path for Cyber Security Track

Hey guys (and gals). My cert plans may have changed slightly. After talking again to a counselor at WGU, I learned they pick up the tab on both CEH and CHFI, as well as give you 2 vouchers each in case you fail. That being said, studying CEH on my own right now might not be the best use of my time. My job right now is essentially to "cert up", as I'm awaiting a clearance. I just passed MCSA yesterday. I don't really want to continue down the MCSA path right now, as I want to focus on certs that compliment the cyber security career path. I have a decent networking background and understanding, but no certs. Maybe I should do some Cisco assessment tests, but I'm trying to find out if I can jump right into a CCNA R/S path and skip over CCNET. Is CCNET pretty basic? I'd like to go after CCNA Security, but that requires CCNA R/S first. I'd say I'm rusty in networking, having been away from IT since 07', but I'm not a noob either. I've got the fundamentals. Any suggestions on which path to go that will help a career in Cyber Security, as well as be beneficial on the CEH test (plenty of networking questions I hear). And...why can't I hit carriage return for line breaks? Damn IE.
