Well, I am from the US, not the UK. I am currently based in Kansas, but my wife and I will be moving back to Florida once I get out so I can finish my Bachelor’s degree and get in the field.

Yea, I am pretty personable and willing to do what it takes, so I don’t see many issues with at the least getting my name out there.

I will definetly take all the help I can get. I love working with computers and I definetly have found the field I want. I just purchased the Counter Hack Reloaded book a ton of people have suggested to me just so I can start immediately.

I have started here with the EH forum, but I am currently in Iraq for a couple more months, so really getting…[Read more]

Well I’d essentially be getting the CCNA to get a job, I have been doing research and it seems like people have a lot of trouble coming straight out of college with no experience and trying to get a position in Security. Plus, the cert will give me a good base to work off of.

More or less, I am just playing the numbers but since I will be getting…[Read more]

While getting my CCENT is a great building block, I obviously would have to get a CCNA or CCNP to acquire a job in the field as I work towards my career in Security.

My next question would be which certifications to obtain first?

Sil, once again thank you for that link. Even though I didn’t understand around half of it, I at least know where to get started to try and get a foot up before I get real deep into everything.

Thank you very much for that link sil. That was absolutely incredible and will make sure that I bookmark that immediately

I don’t plan on just sticking to networking, just trying the best way to get my foot in the door. From there I plan on expanding my horizons to other areas in the field. Thanks for the links and help Rance and Jamie, I will make sure to check into these for sure.

Thank you for all that information, I will definetly utilize it. I plan on being on these boards regularly to get well versed in the field. I am currently in Iraq at the moment, but will have to get up on these conferences to get my face out there and meet some people. Thanks again

I was looking to be more focused on the networking side.

I also obtained a Secret Security clearance in July of 2009 when I joined the Army.
