Which aspect of security would I be suited to?
I'm getting my foot in the door of the IT world by getting my A+ and Net+ and now I'm going after Security+ and will probably take a shot at the CEH after that(mostly because it was just one more security class at the local college on top of what I already took).

Re: What was "the big cert" that got you a huge bump in salary?
I am taking a break from my regularly scheduled resume rewrite to respond to this. I think vets bring more soft skills to the table than the average civilian, such as being deadline driven, organized, disciplined, and resourceful.
