Right on man! Congrats! My CCNA R&S is going to expire in 3 weeks, I still have my CCNA Sec I need to do (part of school) so hopefully I can pass it on time, otherwise I'll end up taking a crack at doing the composite this time around. I've been installing a few ASA's at work so hopefully that hands-on experience will help me a little bit. I need to upgrade my GNS3 server and continue practicing though. Anyway, good luck with ICND2!
I'm not sure if I mentioned in that last thread, but I've experienced a slight change in my career. I got bumped up to IT Manager, apparently I've been doing a good enough job that they've given me a chance in this new position. So first time in a management role, I love and hate it. New experience is great but now I'm seeing my technical side not being used as much which is sad.
