Haha awesome! Maybe you will actually obtain the whole list Cheesy

What will your next cert be? I am currently prepping for CISSP. A lot of overlap with Security+ so I can recommend it if you are thinking about it. After this I really wanna start with OSCP, a fun hands-on challenge.

edit: WGU sounds nice. Too bad I am not a US citizen. Good luck!

I am going for a degree in Security at WGU and they count certain certificates for credits. The 5 they require for a degree are:

A+
Security+
CCNA
CCNA Security
Project+

I am going to knock out project+ next followed by the cisco certs to get a head start on my degree since the military pays for the testing. Then I am on to CISSP.
