Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] ccie switch lab 3 sw + 1 ESW

Thanks guys. I started my Lab journey a little less than a year ago and got
derailed for about 6 months due to some family issues. I had just started
Vol 3 (and hadn't done any Vol2 or been to the OWLE bootcamp yet) and had
to go ahead with my first attempt on October 3rd @ RTP. I gave it the best
shot I could considering the circumstances and actually did about as well
as I though I would but ultimately got a "not pass". However, I can say
that it was a fun time getting the actual lab experience, and now that i'm
back on the study/lab horse, I can't wait til I feel like i'm ready for my
second (and final :) attempt.

Now that I know what i'm up against, I know exactly where I need to be
before I give it another shot. In the mean time, I hope to be able to be
more active on the list and be able to help and be helped. It's a great
community to be a part of.

Cheers all,
max
