A hearty congratulations to you!!! It's been a heck of a journey, but
obviously a rewarding one! :)
Now you have all this extra time on your hands. Hopefully your boss isn't
a CCIE and realizes how much MORE productive you could be now (smirk).
Very well done!!!

Subject: Thank you from CCIE #19310
Folks:
It is been a VERY long journey, but I finally tamed the beast November 9th
in San Jose and became CCIE #19310. I would first like to thank God for the
perseverance to keep going when I wanted to bail many times over and giving
me the strength to stay on course. Next, I would like to thank my wife for
her support. As many on here realize, the path of becoming a CCIE can take
away a lot of family time, so support at home is critical!
For written study materials, I used Internetwork Expert's workbook and
highly recommend them. When I first purchased them years back, I quickly
realized that I had a long way to go, but they definately helped me
formulate a plan and identify my knowledge gaps!
To Scott Morris and Narbik Kocharians, a very special "thank you" for all
the help you have given me including bootcamps, guidance, and putting up
with my ridiculous questions at times! Folks, these two guys are grade A
and I cannot recommend their products any higher. If either of you are in
my area, drop me a line and drinks are on me!
To the current candidates (I know it sounds cliche), stick with it. My only
advice is to make a plan, practice every scenario you can think of, and get
enough rack time to make your fingers bleed. Learn debugs and how to answer
a question different ways. When you know 98% of the commands in your sleep,
you know you are there! Any of the major vendor (IPExpert, Internetwork
Expert, Net-Workbooks) are excellent and will give you the information you
need to pass with enough practice. Just remember that no workbook,
bootcamp, tutor, $$$$ of equipment, whatever will get you a passing score
without enough practice on your part! There is no substitute!
Best of luck to the candidates out there, and please feel free to shoot me a
note if you have questions!
Bobby
CCIE #19310!
