SSG Lassiters though I'm not really a computer guy myself my MOS does require me to deal with computer systems on a routine basis. I have thought about get some sort of technical certification in these areas.

I have my technical certification within my M.O.S. SFC Private RallyPoint Member. I also was able to implement the testing for the certification into A.I.T. Program of Instruction (POI) so that students have an opportunity to obtain the certification before graduation.

I implemented the program as it was part of President Obama's initiative as a preemptive measure for the downsizing.

I was also able to do it at no cost to the Government. I utilized inter-government agencies to make it happen.

I was able to make a change within my Occupational Specialty.

SSG Kevin Lassiter, both of these certs are great to have not only in the military but outside of the military as well. Currently, I am an IT major and these certs will count for seven of my Bachelors level courses. Another great cert is the CISSP. The 25B series really gets the hookup on getting certified though. I know a lot of guys in that MOS and they really get trained for their certs!
