This is a stupid question, but that's what happens when I have too much time on my hands...but here goes..

What is the absolute most elite of certifications one can get? I know pretty much anybody can get their A+ cert, heck, after looking through the study guide, I think I could even pass it, and I don't know crap...

When I meet a 4 star general, I know he/she has paid their dues, and has put their time in, and no matter what I think of them, they deserve my respect...

Using that analogy, I'm wondering what the certification equivalent of a 4 star general would be?
