Reminder to call colleagues who sworn they'd pursue a hardcore telecommunications career after learning that, in case of major fuckups, the "politicians women and children first" extend to critical staff such as medics and engineers, including telecoms, reasoning being, "they want someone to be able to build a radio out of a box of irradiated scraps so the president can give a speech".
And they really meant it, they'd look at foxhole radios (a radio you can build out of a piece of wire, disposable razor and a pencil) the way you looked at the first piece of porn you ever saw, and theorizing a few doomsday scenarios and what kind of infrastructure they would try to build and run in apocalyptic ruins.
