I'm sitting in class 25B0046-13 at Ft. Gordon ( IT Essentials- week 2) and I'm about to blow my brains out. I'm the class leader, so I get to sit in the back and use the internet as I please (OPSEC). I have a few years network engineering experience, so most of this training is remedial for me, and I want to slit my wrists it's so boring. I wish you could test out of them 
At least near week 20 it will get interesting, and I will get some certifications out of this 
ETA: Just took test # 3. Broke my 100 record score because I missed one question. Since when does a 3.5'' slot in a Desktop case fit a standard HDD? Cause I'm pretty sure those are 5'', and 3.5'' bays are for floppy 
Stupid Cisco tests... |

Stupid Cisco tests... Nobody uses floppies any more, and standard HD footprint is now 3.5". |

That's one that it depends on how long you've been doing this, I've installled/removed PLENTY of 5.25" full-height disk drives, instead of the 3.5" half-height drives common now. 5.25" bays are still used for CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drives. And 2.5" is used in a lot of servers these days for SATA, SCSI, and SSD drives, I've got both IBM and Sun/Oracle servers using them. |

Just wait till you go through a year of echelons above reality fixed station operations officer courses......and wind back up as a battalion signal staff officer in a combat unit.......I was a 25 series.........and spent 10 years in combat units............................till I left the army on disability. Even old and decripit ...I still wish they'd take me back.....

My first computer had 256k of RAM and dual 360k floppy drives (with double sided disks, thanks to the hole punch) - it was SMOKING. Then when the 640k RAM upgrade came along we thought we could do anything - so long as you could manage your config.sys and autoexec.bat to load things into memory in the right order to make room for all the drivers. |

Damn, talk about bringin back some memories! I just finished a SQL class and it smoked me...first class since going back to school that challenged me. The network and hardware classes both had me bored to tears. In fact, I got cocky and almost flunked a test in the networking class

How about TRS-80 with 4k of RAM and a tape drive. My HS had a 16k model, we were hitting the big time there. trash-80s were for the poor folks...rich kids were sporting an Apple ][+ or 'e'. I didn't get my own until much later. 256k was a lot, but it only ran CP/M-80 so I had to do a lot of workarounds.

That is what she said Lol as of today, I am 80% finished with my A+ certification test prep. Two more modules, and it's off to the testing room to get my A+! Class mon-fri from 0800-2000 sucks though....once we get into software we get off at 1630, so that will be nice |
