The uncertainty may cease, I got a phone call today to inform me where I may pick up the certification. I passed!!!! Not that I had a single doubt, actually had several. Thanks to you folks for the time and encouragement, and thanks again to my instructor who put in just as much time as I did. And yes akweldshops root pass is awesome. Maybe sometime he could show us how it looks going in.

Hot Damn, congratulations!

Everyone who's waited more than a day for the results knows how it feels... No matter how good you felt doing it, the doubts creep in more every day you have to wait.
