I think it's clear...your Hooters server is totally impressed you made a .gif from your phone. Godspeed, sir.
Unfortunately, I didn’t make it...when I recently transferred my photos from my phone to Google Photos, some secret squirrel Google Photos gizmo did it automatically...I didn’t do anything. The same thing happened with a previous Dunkin’ adventure...very weird...see below...

I'd argue it doesn't...but I think we're on the same page with our overall assessment.
When I went through NMITC in the mid-90's I was getting a lot of crap from the instructors and I couldn't figure out why. Graduation time rolls around and the CO asks me if my dad is going to show up. I said "why would he?" CO looks at me confused and says "because he's the Director of Naval Intelligence and he's your dad..." LOL, they thought RADM Michael Cramer was my dad the entire time I was going through Intel school just because we had the same last name.

That is a good one, we had a kids (he was an E-3/4) dad come on a tiger cruise from Hawaii to San Diego, the second day in it was found out the kids dad was a retired full bird Colonel and was sleeping in M-Div berthing, they immediately offered him to stay in a stateroom and he declined, said he was there to experience what his son was experiencing and was going to eat where he ate and sleep where he slept.

You'll also find that Army leadership differs greatly from Navy leadership with regards to what people eat and where they sleep. My great uncle was a Colonel and three tour Vietnam guy. He was disgusted with the idea of staterooms and the wardroom.

My Army friends are particularly confounded with the concept of mess stewards and FSAs waiting on officers at daily meals in the wardroom.

I gotta admit, since we're always talking about undermanned crews and training readiness, I'm a little confounded myself.

Its always been my opinion that Mess Stewards, FSA's, folks who work in the squadron hanger First LT div, etc all be CIV contractors. Nothing more demotivating than being assigned to wash clothes or serve meals. The Navy wardroom ritual is also a little looney.
