That seems to be something Sneakerz did in spite of Chaos since he was removed from being sysop for abuse

M4a1

No the name itself is on the net-ban so obviously thats what PoLiX was referring to.

Flew out at midnight and am in Detroit on my way to canada for two weeks. I'll be in SS a bit more n just saying hi :-o

Concern of what? A domain name that we hardly ever use? Does it truly have a function nowadays? These are questions I have and by next year. There is only one domain I have a concern for as I said in my last post. If you or someone else wants to paypal me the money for the domain name for next year then by all means do so. Otherwise I am not going to do it again. I would rather let it expire than pay for the upkeep of the domain name. Paypal - joemedeiros@gmail.com - Joe

It's been renewed. And to everyone who was bitching about me not renewing it - I will do as I want when I find it convenient. There is only 1 domain I consider important to upkeep and sscouncil isn't it. The site overall is pretty static and a waste of space when there is nothing 'secret' about it. If we had it centralized here it would be all the better in my opinion I agree. But the site should be up for nostalgic purposes I suppose. Anyway it is renewed for another year....blah blah.

or just ...... me.

Not bad.

I'm back in the states.

I fly tomorrow.

Yeah, Polix is.

Hate you so much right now I've got a 4 day weekend the week I get back as well, so maybe that'll be a good time to get together, I know the last week of April and first week of May I'll be out of town, visiting someone special. So the sooner we get it planned and done, the better off by the way.

I'll be home on the 28th so hopefully I get your mail package for the wedding stuff Scott.

Still working on finishing up my sleeve.

Been up since 8am it's 10:12 right now. Stalking my post is so unbecoming of you

Uh Huh - I bet Hopefully I'm here for only a couple more days, but we shall see.

Just working is all I'm doing during the days here until 9pm-11pmish usually. Anyway as things go, all is well. ---------- And hey you cutie Hope work was well

I'm in Okinawa, Japan at the moment - so no

Whats a happenin'?

LOL - Excellent.

Something like this could take more than a moment to reply to but overall, I'm sorry I am posting this late. How did you prepare for the career or position you have now? To answer this question, I chose this later on after joining the military. I re-assigned my Primary Miliatry Occupation Specialty (P-MOS) to a 25B. The course to be a 25B is varied between 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 months of schooling. Right now I believe it is currently 5 1/2 months in length. The course follows a strict guideline of Security+, A+, N+, brief introduction into ICND to understand the fundamental uses of Cisco interconnecting network devices, so you then go into Switches and Routers, the kinds of protocols utilized and by the end of this course you will setup your own small network. They throw in some troubleshooting techniques by breaking or disconnecting devices and you need to figure out how to solve each problem as a team of five individuals. So overall, you are not prepared until you follow the training. What college course work or other training was most useful? Never did any college work unless you count me working for SDSU (San Diego State University when I was in High School for the Dept. of Anthropology doing basic network techinican troubleshooting and databasing by importing to Access a bunch of Excel spreadsheets full of data). What types of activities fill your typical working day? Right now, not much to be honest since I'm in a staff job - but overall on a tactical deployment I'd be staging up a tactical network, running VMWare and having an Unclass network running for our google surfing et cetera and the rest I can only glaze over to give you the overall typical response. OPSEC mandates me to be a little careful on how I would respond to this question honestly. What features of your career do you like the most? The least? I enjoy the fact that you can take any aspect of the military training, and use it to work on getting certifications on what you want to do to continue a progressive career path. ETS or Retiring out of the military, following your personal certifications will guarantee you a job in either a civilian or government agency rather easily. The least I like about it is getting up for 0630 accountability formations, sleep is soooo much better. What personality characteristics are most useful to someone in your career? Tact, Honesty, and Trust are the three key ingredients to being in this job - You need to understand how to communicate with the less-than thrilled individuals who don't know what to do as well as understand that rank is a game too. Once you understand these concepts, you can guarantee yourself as a reliable individual if you are always on your A game. How would you describe the long-term outlook of your field? Long term out-look is actually pretty bad right now because this is just a common ground for the most part. It's a great starting point, it's better to focus your field of vision on a specialty as well truthfully. Mine is going the career path of Security, because it's a lot more booming still and the level of trust is competitive. How do you expect your career to develop in the next 5 years, 10 years, or 15 years? I don't know just yet - I'll still be in the military for awhile, I'm planning on going Warrant and continue striving for more certifications. Re-cert's will always be a priority as well by the way. Do you know any books, periodicals, or online sources that might help me find out more about your field? You can check out ISC2.org, cisco.com, look at CCENT, which is your ICNDP1 & P2, then CCNA, CCNP, CCSP (Security Professional) et cetera.
