CompTIA Security+ ce renewal

I just completed renewing the Security+ certification issued by COMPTIA.  This is requirement
for all contracting staff who work with DOD.  This has been a requirement for some years now.

Security+ CE program runs on a 3 year cycle.  That is from the time you successfully pass the Security+ exam you have a 3 year period where the following must occur in order to maintain
your certification:

1.) Pay Comptia $50 a year.  You can pay this annually or all at once your choice.
2.) Acquire 50 Continuing Education Units over the period of 3 years.
3.) Add CEUs into the comptia website as you acquire the CEU.  Note:  if you have not paid the annual fee then you will be unable to complete this step.

How to acquire the 50 CEUs?  While this can be reached in a number of ways, see items 1 & 2 under sources, I will describe the path I chose:

1. Complete the Cyber Security Fundamentals Training (item 3) from Ft. Gordon this will give you 40 CEUs.
2. Write your job description and have your boss sign and date the description on company letter head.  You get 3 CEUs for each year of work which requires you to use Security+ skillsets. That means for the 3 year timespan you get 9 CEUs.
3. Complete 1 course from the DISA courseware list (item 1).  I chose the DNS Basic concepts (item 4).

That gave me my 50 CEUs!
