All,

Today I pass the R&S lab in RTP on my second attempt.

I began studying for the lab after passing the written @ Cisco Live 2008.

I am extremely grateful to have an understanding family who sacrificed
countless hours/days in support of this journey. It was challenging
my wife especially with a 3 and 5 year to chase after. It can be
difficult to explain to the kids why I have to be away so many hours,
but reaching the end goal will be worth the time spent. Tonight they
celebrated with me (all of us dancing and screaming).

I used a variety of materials for my preparation:

1. IPExpert Vol 1&2 / Audio / Video
2. Cisco Press Cert Guide
3. Internetwork Expert Dyngen vol2
4. Jeff Doyle Vol1 and 2
5. Cisco Product Documentation
6. blog.ine.com (Petr Lapukhov)
7. and of course this group

I have been mostly a lurker with only a handful of posts, but have
benefitted greatly from this group.

Good Luck to those whose time is coming soon! Keep up the hard word
and remember that you only fail when you give up.

I'm going to relax now!
