After an interminable wait for the final results, I have
finally received the news of passing the lab exam...
CCIE #14388. It's been a long two years; I wasn't even a
grandfather yet when this trek started.
First and foremost, I would like to thank my wonderful,
understanding wife who has endured this journey with me.
As if it wasn't enough to suffer the long separations
during my Navy submarine career (sorry about those long
waits on the pier honey), she withstood those long periods
of time when I would slip away into the abyss of CCIE
never-never land. Her confidence in me never faded, and
when I was ready to give it up, she encouraged me to take
it one more time, somehow knowing that would be the one.
Thank you Barbe for being my friend for 30 years. You are
my inspiration!
Thank you Sam for your support...those lucky chocolate
chippers were indeed magical.
Thanks to Brian M. and Brian D. for the workbook, the
excellent technology labs, and the rack rentals. It really
helps to constantly review the fundamentals.
Thanks Paul for the GroupStudy site, and to Brian, Brian,
Scott, Howard, and all the other knowledgeable
contributors that make GroupStudy such an awesome
resource.
For those of you still on the journey, keep at it, it can
be done! Practice the core to the point where you think
like a router, really! :)
Time now to get on with life, and turn our house into a
resting spot between vacations!
Regards,
John Buelk
