Congrats Hayabusa! did you spend any time on the lab machines? i just cant seem to find the time to do so :S

@jordy - the lab machines actually came pretty easily for me (but some of that was from experience)  The exam machines took a bit more time and effort, and there were a few curve balls I honestly didn't expect.  But if you spend the time on the labs, you should be good on the exam.

@Equix3n - doin' ok, but the residual pain in my neck and back is almost as distracting as the meds are hindering... So it's a sort of lose-lose situation, especially with my current customer load at work.  But I'm confident that, sooner or later, I'll be feeling better.   

congrats hayabusa!

maybe everyone who passes OSCP should get a tattoo...like they do in the marines...seems like a real experience to go through 

@Anquilas - yes, aside of working, spending the time resting and with the family, for a little bit.  (Believe me, I don't need reminding <grin>)

@aphelion - funny you should say that... although it's not because of OSCP or anything, I'm actually in the middle of getting a new tat as we speak.  Started it the day after my exam, and likely finishing it, end of this week.

@KillJ0y - glad to be of inspiration to you and / or others.  I'm just one who always likes to try to give 125%, for myself or others, even when I need to slow down and get my rest!  (And at that, I'll go get some  )

Congrats, hayabusa!  This is one course that I am certainly looking forward to when the time comes.  I'm starting to study for the CEH presently since my Security+ is done and even though late in the game, I got my MCSE: Security and can't wait to continue to pursue my path into the security world.  Congratulations again! 

Lol!  No, definitely from the car accident.  Just wish they actually eased the pain.  Docs keep prescribing the same things, even when I tell them nothing's helping.  My latest was that the docs ordered an MRI for me, and come to find out, they ordered it on the completely wrong section of my spine, so now I'm waiting for yet another one to be done, as the chiropractor and others are afraid to do anything else, based on my pain and what they're seeing / feeling, without having a better picture of what's going on.

I'm actually going to be taking the next two weeks (this coming Saturday through Sept 5) off work, to TRY to rest, as I can't even lay in bed with any comfort, and GOOD, restful sleep has eluded me now for almost 6 weeks.

But nah, OSCP was challenging, but not so much as to make me have to self-medicate!
