Yup! Exactly. This is something that always bugged me about this episode too. Skipper is so worried about losing enough weight to join the Navy when they’re rescued...but just like you said, they’re all acting like the night they launch that raft they’re going to be rescued hours later. And besides that the Skipper (Gilligan too but mostly Skipper) acts like the morning after they’re rescued he is going to be enlisting already. I would think after such a fantastic story of survival and rescue etc etc, they would all be busy with reporters, media and the like. Of course not to mention y’know, spending time with family and friends. Surely Skipper has someone who has been missing and worried about him?

(Some of this was likely covered in the Rescue From Gilligan’s Island movie so sorry if I’m either wrong or going over things that have already happened anyway, I’ve only seen it once many many many years ago)
