I was a Radioman in the Navy, and some coworkers and I had gone to see Cider House Rules in the theater.
There's a scene where they come to inform someone that a plane with a loved one on board had been shot down.
To quote the movie:
We immediately started laughing when we heard that, because we were told that the Radiomen are some of the last to leave a sinking ship due to needing to destroy the cryptographic material. Hearing that a Radioman was one of the first to bail was too good to us..
