Chuck,
You and Joe Martin and a few others on this list have kept me going. Last
year this time I was looking at my last full year of AF duty.. (20 Years).
I will be leaving the AF in April and Job hunting. I had just also finished
my BS. I had an CCNA at the time.
Now I am 1/3 done my masters... Finished my CCDA ... Finished my CCNP and
might have finished my CCDP... I intend on getting the written done in the
next few months and finding some employment that will sponsor the CCIE
training/LAB to fill in my weak spots.... You Joe, and the rest of the gang
on this list mean a heelluva lot to me... I lurk more then I post due to
time constraints... but that does not diminish how much each of you have
meant to me... Recently Aaron ( a recent CCIE) wrote he got the chance to
met with you after his CCIE lab.... Not only do I look forward to that lab
next year... but I would also like to have dinner with you to personally
thank you (and Joe and Howard and Jasper and Pricilla (Ms Design) and Pam
and Jeff and Charles and Mark and Robert and ... just a few of the names I
always look for) (do you all remember Jeff Doyle posting here before went
Juniper?) Anyway... each of you have contributed to my learning and today
I have 12 technicians who directly work for me and some larger number that
constantly work with me that all benefit from what you have all have
taught...
I did cover a few of the great authors here but I must also thank Todd,
Radia, Chris L., Andrew T and Mr. Stevens for their great books
Here is 2001 and to getting a 1 CCIE number before 7K (R&S) and one after
(Design)

Subject: Off Topic - Thoughts on the coming year
This shouldn't be too long. No goal setting this year. No laying out of
plans and schemes. Just a reflection on my own achievements, and what that
might mean to you.
I discovered Cisco certification 19 months ago, shortly after I lost my job
as technology manager at a small brokerage firm. (downsized by the new
owners) At that time I thought that maybe it would take me five years to get
my CCIE. A year ago, when I laid out my plan for the year 2000, and posted
it here, I saw that it might be possible to have at least passed the CCIE
written by year end.
Today, my CCIE lab is scheduled, and I believe I will have attained that
goal by end of year 2001. This is amazing to me.
So I just want to say, on this eve of the REAL new millenium, to all of you
on this list, to all of you single moms and high school kids and career
changers and overweight middle aged guys, and non native English speakers,
you CAN do it! It may be a journey of a thousand miles, but it can be done,
as the saying goes, one step at a time.
To all of you whose names I have seen in my in-box these past months, my
best wishes to you all. Wherever you are on the road - the shoreline, Delhi,
Katmandu, Base Camp, or nearly at Everest's summit - you CAN do it. I look
forward to seeing you on the road, on the trail, on the climb, at the top.
May you achieve those things which fulfill you in this coming new year!
Chuck
