I've been in the engine and done the arm pump to get a trucker to blow their horn :)

Agreed, we get at least a weekly briefing and plenty of refresher training. Our commander has said he's not been informed that this problem is no longer the Army's #1 focus therefor it still is. Im not saying the strategy works but we're very encouraged to prevent/intervene/report

Edit: of course this only applies to the contemporary garrison environment. Previous years and/or the field are completely different stories

This layperson thinks that frequency of citation is only loosely related to value since that frequency is likely to be affected heavily by visibility. Of course those in visible publications are more likely to have high value, but that doesn't mean that something equally more more valuable is buried in a web log or campus circular somewhere.

I often hear archived interviews on NPR, unfortunately it seems most often when someone noteworthy passes away. Given the topic of this AMA, I'm curious if NPR retains these archives in the format they were collected in (tape here, vinyl here, .wavs over here) or are they periodically brought up to whatever the current modern standard is. I would guess the latter since physical storage space had changed so much (and will presumably continue to) but I like to imagine some sort of swiss army knife of audio equipment that you could drop an Edison wax phonograph cylinder into and get a FLAC file of Teddy Roosevelt.
