Yesterday I began the SANS Security 504 course being offered here in Norfolk, at the gracious expense of my employer, Uncle Sam. 2 days in, I can say that this is definitely helping me point myself in the right direction for when I exit the Navy in about 18 months and also opening my eyes to a lot of things I have not been aware of, embarassingly.

Tonight was the local ISSA meeting for the Hampton Roads area (ISSA-HR), and boy did I learn a lot. I plan on becoming a member as soon as their website is functioning again, and also participating in their CISSP Study Group, which runs from March 13th through May 29th. I have plans to take the exam with them in June as I already have a voucher.

Time to rest up and learn some more tomorrow.
