Will do sir
This is Probably the 1. Need right now lol, stay classy folks

Destin: "Am I allowed to look at this?" Narrator: "He was not allowed to look at that."
Actually he was, we weren't.
@@UhOhUmm I noticed he blurred that image.
Just because he was allowed doesn’t mean the world was allowed to.
What he was looking at is called a station bill and it lists crew members and what their emergency duties are. This would include fire, flooding, security incident etc. it was likely blurred out only because it would have the crew’s names on it. Although there may also have been individual weapons assignments as well that they wouldn’t want shown. Nothing super secret though lol.
I read that in Morgan Freeman's voice.
Goes to the bathroom on a nuclear submarine, but first: checks out the door latch. Engineer's priorities.
Don't underestimate the bathroom door latch. One of these inspired the docking mechanism of SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft.
@@andrasbiro3007 I want one, where do I buy it? Wait a minute, is this like buying a $127 hammer? Forget that!
I've had kitchen cabinet's from the 50's with a similar system, but without the rollers.
@@TeKaMOTO I remember those from back then, too. Also recall some that had some sort of plastic roller, too. Been too many years ago for me to remember details.
Just a heavy-duty cabinet latch. Common on metal cabinets in the past, and still available in hardware stores.
"There you go. I used the bathroom on a nuclear submarine." I assure you it loses its novelty rather quickly.
"I dropped a Deuc on the Toledo"..my bucket list is complete. lol
As a submariner myself, you did a great job asking quality questions and submariners don't typically get the opportunity to talk about their jobs with imbedded journalists onboard. We had a CBS and a WaPo guy onboard when we went to the Arctic but they didn't exactly make a great impression so thanks for being a professional because that's how we do business too👍🇺🇸
Thank you for your service !
Thank you for your service!
Well, the CBS and WaPo guy were most likely democrats, and most likely never once in their life considered serving their country.
With a single visit to a submarine, he created a video series that outlast a pandemic.
I didn't start the series from first video, so I legit thought he was inside the submarine for days/weeks. But it was only one day with more content than half of my recommended videos.
Hahahaha true
@@Miliexy I couldn’t believe it was only one day! Was taken back when he said it was only one. Crazy!
Oi dude, speak for yourself xD. Most of the world is still under lockdown.
@@supernenechi should’ve ended over 6 months ago
Submarine toilets are no joke, I know at least one story of a Submarine which was sunk because of incorrect operation of the toilet.
Better or worse story than the sub that sank because the water in the ballast tanks froze?
What story?
It’s always a joy to run into the one and only Scott Manley out in the wild
What to do if i am all out of bubble gum ?
@@CynicalOldDwarf Thanks bro!
Honestly at this point we have to get Destin out to the ISS. This amazing interesting he provides no matter where he goes is just incredible.
Get Destin and Tom Scott on the ISS and it would be awesome
u just copied a comment on a diff video
@@mini_mozzer How would you know he specifically copied it, it's not like this other guy had a patent on this idea.
@@freddesk1693 cus he was the one who posted the other comment...
@@mini_mozzer So you're accusing him of using his own comment from another video ? 😆
I bet their families really loved watching this series! Seeing where their loved ones live and work must be really appreciated. I loved this series Destin!
Binge watching this series now and I'm really impressed by them and starting to enjoy the crew's company in a way. That little smirk on the stone cold XO's face when he announced ice cream and waffles.
This is the most insane recruiting series the military ever commissioned.
Wait for Space Force to make Red Bull jumps from space routine.
Fr
Well except for a little movie called Top Gun. Apparently drove recruitment directed toward naval aviation up by 5 orders of magnitude.
And it was free
For people who are deeply buried in student debt, this is highly tempting for them. I mean, you can escape to a sub and be gone for quite a long time, and by the time you back into society, you are debt free.
19:00 "Can I look at this?" "Yes." *pan to blurred diagram*
Narrator: "He could not look at this."
He can. The masses can't
we need some hackerman to enhance this image
@@andresgarcia1328 Destin worked for a defense contractor as an engineer so I'm sure he has at least some level of clearance
@@cochbob Indeed, he couldn't work at Redstone without a clearance.
That kid in the navy hoodie dropping those “sirs” like a respectable boss. Proud parents out there.
Yes, enlisted military has to treat civilians like officers. We had to refer to them as Sir or Mam.
Lol as if it weren't required of him?
Most important guy on the boat, although he's a touch too junior to have noticed it yet. He's the first and sometimes only channel the left hand has to ask the right hand what it's up to.
Where I'm from, it's so common that I think of it as just "a way to call people you don't know, especially if you're in the military" instead of outright respect. It's probably from back in the day when America got us and before they were able to send proper teachers, it was military officers teaching people English. The end result is that some of our English speech ended up somewhat like the US military, and the US military inherited some of the local words and spread it across America, like how bundok (mountain) became the boondocks (far away rural areas) or how kuto (head lice) became cooties. Meanwhile, we turned "up here" into "apir" lol.
Tbh from my point of view, it looks like there's only one register in the US. Everything always sounds super informal, and it doesn't help that the English language doesn't really have many ways to convey formality. The lack of formal pronouns is something I'll never get used to I think lol. You just can't get how weird it is to imagine walking up to a nuclear submarine captain and then call him a "you".
They treated him like a guest in their home. I like that, that's our guys waaayyy up North. I pray we never need their true service, but glad they're up there. Hope all is well.
what are you guys doing in Russia's back yard? spying
@@user-gu1hl2kx2k no it’s a diterent
Mickey it is not just up north. Missile boats float around in all kind of areas, both in the Atlantic and the pacific. Nuke fast attacks are fun and do a lot more interesting things than the missile boats. Served on both back in the 50's through the 70's.
When I first started watching Smarter every day, never thought it’d include a shower scene. Lol
Honey Coiling episode
@@smartereveryday Destin, so, you are telling us that you are a serial internet nudist? lol
@@smartereveryday Well now I know about the liquid rope coil effect. It is also interesting to see how much your production quality has increased.
@@smartereveryday I've been subscribed to you for a good number of years now, but I didn't know about that video, I guess it was just before or about the time I subscribed here. Having just watched that video and a couple of weeks/months ago a video the Royal Institution did on the Millenium Problems, am I correct in assuming that a better mathematical understanding of the Navier Stokes equations might lead to an equation describing the inertio-gravitational regime, something you said wasn't available yet in that honey coiling vid?
I haven't even watched a minute into the video and this is the top comment on my feed. What did I just read?
Somewhere I feel like Destin just won a bet that he could make 100k people watch him sleep, shower, and use the toilet.
For that he wouldn't need to go into a sub
@@schlimmbotg472 The sub is just the excuse. The perfect cover story.
Well there are many TV shows like e.g. "Big Brother" were millions of people "enjoy" watching other people do just that day-in and day-out. I am bewildered why?!!
That XO is going to make an outstanding Skipper one day

I can’t believe you were only on the ship for a day, it seemed like you were there for a week or more
Bet he's glad he didn't have to hot bunk.
Should have talked about rack to the future
@@cookingwithpower ah yes, my favourite movie, rack to the future
@@blackwatch6649 called a rack.
@@HuntsT Hot Rack? That means something totally different where I'm from.
Probably the coolest channel on KZhead. Not many content creators can use the " I had access to a nuclear submarine" flex. The is by far the coolest series I have seen in my 15 years on KZhead.
Yeah well I’ve been in an AIRSTRIKE and in a BASEMENT. and BOTH AT ONCE. THERES MY CHALLENGE FOR YOU
Cutting your camera off when an injury occurred was so clutch, dude. Thanks for the respect.
I wanted to see the medical emergency
You pooped on a submarine in front of the entire internet. That is a true accomplishment!
And here I felt accomplished when I pooped on the Hoover Dam. 🤷♂️
How do you know he pooped?
@@marcel151 Well what gain would he make claiming it otherwise? It's not like Destin is seeking fame from a gross stunt online, so I take him at his word.
@@kamrongrant Look at the title again.
He left the sub broken-hearted....
Of course Destin had to see how the bathroom door was held open, an engineer through and through!
Seems dangerous in case it's not secured if someone is in there. o.o
@@KainYusanagi it probably locks closed and the latch for keeping it open is just supposed to hold it while you get in.
@@YamaZombies Obviously. I was referring to if someone were inside and closing the door to use it. If there were a sudden shift due to whatever reason, that's a fairly pointy spike, at about eye level. No bueno.
@@KainYusanagi The door is either closed, or open, or you're holding on to it. You never leave it, or anything else, flopping in the breeze. It's not a problem.
@@awo1fman Apparently you don't understand the concept of a sudden shift in the sub causing lost balance, stumbling, etc.
This is an incredible series, and really shows how these guys live. They REALLY have to be comfortable with each other and all get along. It's definitely not for everyone, and it's so cool how 'together' they all are.
I was on the same class sub in the early 90's. Brings back so many memories, some good, some less so. Keep in mind that many of the enlisted people are 18-22 years old or so. When I think about it now, the amount of responsibility we had then is amazing. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
can you elaborate on the "LESS so" memories on board your SSN ?
@@ghostrider-be9ekAs a submariner that served on the same class of sub, the less so refers to the fact that the work sucks. Long working hours. Three section duty, or four section if you are lucky. High op tempo being at sea. I have lots of stories myself. A lot about shared suffering.
I like that you didn't film the injured patient. As a paramedic with a KZhead channel I appreciate that you kept it above board and respected his or her privacy. Love your channel Destin keep it coming!
Kudos for not filming the injured patient but it would have been nice to know a bit more about how the Navy keeps people safe on board. The impression given is this guy was not equipped to handle major medical emergencies and if something happens you better hope Dr. Luck-and-Prayer is on your side.
I just really wanted to know what kind of injury the individual got...
What if the identity is hidden? Blurred face/name/rank insignia. Because it would make a great medical documentary on how the Navy deals with the injuries in the limited resources situation. IMO, but l respect his decision and other views in this matter
Agreed, though I would have appreciated more detail about the procedures and efforts that were applied. Just on a broader/general scope, similar to how they described the fire fighting drill. No names, just something like on-call first-aid Officer A does X, on-call first-aid Officer B does Y, and Z announcements are made. Just the general procedures are very interesting and informative about how they handle the situation. Don't need any details about the injury or the patient, just details of how they handle Medical Emergencies.
I have read submariners saying that, unlike other branches of the military, submariners don’t suffer injuries much. They either come home just fine or they don’t come home at all. The Scorpion and Thresher were lost with all hands. Russian submarines have a much worse safety record, including nuclear accidents.
Perfect thing to watch while I sit on my toilet for the next 20 minutes
Wish I couldn't say the same. :D
that's not healthy, man.
@@WiseWik yeah I'm a little fiber deficient right now
Current status
@@SlidewaysMotion get yourself some veggies and fruits lol
That's probably what the people on the Ocean Gate submarine are asking themselves right now.
I just went through Navy boot camp; one of our instructors was on a sub-tender, and talked about his experience the one time he used the toilet on a sub. He said it was so confusing and complex with 2 levers and a whole procedural posted on the wall just about how to flush, so now he just holds it every time he has to go down inside! As a submarine nuclear power engineer in training, I can't wait! This series came at the perfect time!
Everyone is so darn respectful. I wish normal everyday people were even half as considerate and nice as anyone on the ship.
I suspect that their nice demeanor is because they love what they do.
The Navy screens who serves on the subs. One of the things they screen is personality. You don't want a-holes on a vessel that stays submerged for a long time.
Their nice demeanor is because they are being filmed and I am 100% they had GMTs(general military training) about what would happen if they were filmed doing or saying anything unkind to the Navy's image.
@@narrator6896 I'm less sure, for conditions like a submarine there has to be some level of screening for agreeableness among the crew, they are in such close quarters for so long that you can't have people who's people skills are....coming at more considerable effort to say the least.
@@Rhaegarion I was a submariner 6 months ago.
I love how Destin is always like "I WANT THE AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE" and these guys are so kind they're just like "You get to chill in the best room and use the best bathroom and the best toilet" and it's so wholesome XD
As a former submariner, that's as much for the crew's sake as it was his. There's a bunch of unwritten rules about etiquette in berthing and he probably would have pissed some people off unknowingly. Don't mess with a sailor's rack time lol.
Probably also kept him right in the eyesight of the XO who made sure he wasn't in anything he shouldn't have been.
@@meatypunk Yep, he certainly would since he's Mr. White Light in Berthing, but no berthing shift was needed either.
not to mention, he'd have to take someone else's rack and make two people hot rack.
Destin - I love your fascination with just about everything. Every time I visit your channel there is something new. My Dad was a submariner. I am a submariner. My youngest brother was a submariner and his son is an active duty submariner. I retired in 1995 as the Chief of the Boat on USS Phoenix SSN 702. Thanks so much for this series. Not many civilians get to do what you did and I am happy you are sharing your experience. Great Job! Love the series!
@Donald Donald Yup, my last tour of duty. Most people can’t even come close to remotely understanding anything about life as a submariner and Destin did a great job revealing what he could about it. It’s a lot like an iceberg - 75% of what happens in Submarines will only be known by those who serve in them.
Thanks for your service COB!!! I served in the 60's on the USS Flasher SSN 613.
Thank you all for your service!
I am SOOOOO jealous. I worked in sub. Navy for six years and never got to dive on one. I probably dove on the outside of twenty different boats doing repairs inport. I saw places very few submariners actually see. But I never got to get underway and dive on a boat. Thanks for this amazing series.
We’re you in shipyard or something why didn’t you go on deployment in 4 years ?
@@MerlinTheGr3at I was a diver on Guam and in Charleston. And I spent two years on a submarine rescue ship, USS SUNBIRD. So lots of diving on the outside.
8:17 "Just woke up and.. wait have you been watching me sleep?"
he really just wanted his bed back :D
Destin - A man with regard for others' privacy, but will still film himself in the shower XD!
XD
And in the bathroom
It's a shower on a sub! How could he not? He did also film himself on the toilet though. However, IT'S A SUBMARIE TOILET!
I honestly says a lot about him! love this guy!
All for the content!
Great job on all of your submarine videos. I'm a Sonar Technician on submarines and have been for over 11 years, and you did an amazing job with your interviews. You asked well thought out questions and I was impressed. Thank you for the amazing content!
As someone who went to academy but for health reasons never got to board my first vessel I am in awe at this all. I watch these videos at least once a month over and over, and I wish I could have made it on board but I know some day I might still be able to make it so this gives me hope.
As someone who was seriously injured in public, with a lot of people around. I REALLY respect you for not filming. Being watched while in a crisis... I can't quite explain it, but it sticks with you. It still haunts me more than a decade later.
It's a certain type of agony to be in serious pain and realizing that other's couldn't care less.
I don't agree while I was injured I couldn't care less what others were thinking and feeling this was also in public
that speaks about other issues - I have been seriously injured several times in public (motorcycle crash, bicycle vs car) and I could have cared less about any of that at the moment when adrenaline is running
I'm the opposite honestly. I nearly lost my hand on a SSBN, and I would have loved to get that filmed. My hand went through the collector area of the stbd turbine generator. My right thumb no longer works, but hey, at least I still have my hand! But seriously, I didn't let them stitch me up until I had a picture of my hand from the Yeoman with the ships camera haha
I think it depends how much pain you are, people who are in agony generally lose any inhibitions and could not care less who is watching because it stops registering, the majority of women giving birth while not caring who saw the business end of the delivery is proof of this. However if you're injured but the pain is manageable then your mind will operate as normal and so the thought of a crowd gathering around you while you're in a vulnerable or crippled state would make you very anxious, even more so if you were not a fan of crowds to begin with.
Destin: I had never even considered ice cream on waffles. Waffle cones: Am I a joke to you?
Also, in Europe that's a very common thing. Especially in the Benelux
I have never had waffles without ice cream…
to be fair, the waffles that you get served with ice cream are usually more as hard as crackers, not like the soft, fluffy waffles shown in the video. Plus, they taste very different imho (maybe because of the consistency)
@@wave1090 it’s a common thing in America too, idk how he’s never had that
@@JL1009 Alabamy do what Alabamy does.
I just found this series of submarine videos a couple days ago and I have already watched all of them so far. So fascinating. I can tell a lot of work went into making these videos. Love this kind of wholesome, educational, and fun content!!
Destin, I can't imagine how foreign and uncomfortable this filming experience must have been. But wow! You went "when in Rome" and had a ton of meaningful in-depth interactions with so many submariners. I feel connected to these people, and that is only because of your amazing skills as an interviewer, and your ability to understand, adapt, and teach concepts you understand. I have loved submarines since I was very young, this series has been really enjoyable. Keep up the good work.
This man is a literal rocket scientist, pondering the mysteries of cyber warfare, weedwacker tensile strength and magnetic worms...but has never considered ice-cream and waffles. My mind is blown ;)
Rocket engineer….engineering is practical science. Science is just theories.
Destin be like "hey guys its Destin here, and the GALACTIC EMPIRE has invited me to check out their planetary super weapon...lets get smarter every day"
underrated comment
If he went onboard a boomer sub, it'd be the closest he'd get to looking inside a planet destroying super weapon.
Only 125 likes... What the what
Still waiting for that video series....
I have been taking “submarine showers” at home and didn’t even know it!
Thank you so much for these videos. As a veteran of the submarine community these were good to see. Looking forward to seeing the finale.
He is answering the questions nobody is asking.
i asked that
What about a follow-up video on how to pee on a submarine? I'm sure it would be his #1 video.
Odd never asked about pooping on a submarine nuclear or any type. .useful though
good

I didn't realize cribbage was a naval tradition, though it makes a lot of sense with my family's history. My grandpa was a sailor from 1938-60, including hand to hand combat for the Philippines and underwater demolition during WWII. My father taught me cribbage as a kind of standard family game. So this actually gave me new insight into my connection to my long-deceased grandfather. Fascinating
I read cribbage as Cabbage
I didn’t know this either. Makes sense now that my grandpa always played with me when I was a little kid.
Never heard of Cribbage... Been in 10 yrs lol
Cribbage was like the first adult card game I got taught, played so many times as a kid. That and Euchre.
Nobody cares.
What a great presenter this guy is.. He is conversational and genuine; he seems as though he's speaking off the top of his head. I rarely get past the first 10-mins in most YT videos due to the "in your face" presentation style of most narrators/hosts. This guy has the full package. Keep making great videos man!!
Never planned on doing it... but I am here
Lol
Want a cookie?
Same 🤣
You're a journalist with integrity! I've worked in broadcasting for over 32 years and the way you handled the medical emergency was impressive. Most everyone else would have gone with the "if it bleeds, it leads" mantra. Thank you!
What's mind blowing is you got all of this in only 24 hours on the sub.
I am SO jealous! I'm an ex Air Force dude, but have always had an almost all-consuming fascination with submarines. Boomers and fast attacks. I would have paid some serious money to get the same amazing opportunity that you did! You covered and answered a LOT of questions that I've always had about life on a boat like that, and I thank you. Watched them all many times. I was a weapons systems specialist (conventional & nuclear) in the USAF, and if you ever had any questions about aircraft munitions or loading/fusing operations, I'd be happy to do what I can. I'm a subscriber, love your program, and KEEP 'EM COMING, Destin !!!!!
This entire series is so brilliant. Extremely well done and absolutely fascinating on so many fronts. Thank you!
“I turned off my camera to Respect their privacy” , the Paul brothers could learn from him😂
@@pbandjwrx what exactly does this have to do with the original comment?
@@isaiahturner1306 Absolutely nothing. It's a spam bot or a compromised account replying to every comment. Just report it for spam and move on.
Heck if it was me, depending on how messed up I was, I'd probably have encouraged him to record and talk about it.
One of the reasons I love this channel is Destin's wholesomeness and respect for everyone he comes into contact with. That right there is likely one of the big reasons he gets the access he does. He is polite, respectful, and doesn't embellish a thing.
I'm not sure the Paul brothers have gotten smarter *any* day.

Love this series!!! That crew seems amazing! I feel like I could be friends with all of them!! Good call on the medical emergency!! I hope they are repaired and back to duty with their sub-mates(?) soon!! Looking forward to the next video.
As an Aussie, huge respect. Found this fascinating and a real honour to see the people who do this. Great people
I think Destin needs to go around the Moon on the trip with SpaceX and teach the public. He’s just so incredible.
Him or Tim Dodd. One of these two are a must 🔥
TOO THE MOON!!
They'll probably invite Tom Scott, too. :)
That i want to happen someday
I amend that ✊🏽
Destin: Makes super in depth series about life on a nuclear submarine. My brain: Dude, how did you never in your life had ice cream on waffles before?
Must be a European thing. I remember commenting on that a couple of months ago when he mentioned the waffles + ice cream thing in one of his previous sub videos, can't remember which one though, probably the one about cooking on the sub come to think of it. Here in Belgium it's a standard question you get asked when you order waffles or pancakes in any tearoom: ice cream or whipped cream? Just like you'd get asked cream and/or sugar when ordering a coffee, assuming they don't just include some milk and sugar cubes already as standard. I'm guessing it's the same in Germany/Switzerland (sorry, can't remember where exactly you're from again, even though I'm subscribed to your channel :D ).
It is so wholesome to know that multiple of my favourite KZheadrs (ShadowZone, Scott Manley) are also fans of one of my other favourite KZheadrs.
In Germany it is nearly the same. You just order them the way you wish them to be.
Waffles are breakfast, not dessert. 🤣
@@awo1fman Waffles are for "le goûter", just another french thing the world should adopt in my humble frenchman opinion.
Mad respect for these men and women who are submariners. Great series!
What about the men and women who are submarines?
Thanks so much Destin for making this! You're journalistic style is perfect for this
Yeoman originated as "YO MAN WHERE'S MY CHECK!" and just eventually shortened.
As a yeoman myself that makes sense lol 😂
@@loko78100 Goddamn, you have a cool job!
Don’t forget vacation time.
similar to the phrase "common man" which originally "C'mon man, don't play dat."
Didn’t realize that earlier 😂
Good video. As a former shipyard worker at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. We play a lot of Cribbage to during breaks or lunch. I remember working on this vessel. Nice job. Just learned about you
Thanks for the series Destin, genuinely loved it.
This guy really recorded like 20 different things on a sub last year and is still pumping out full sized videos to this day, talk about planning content ahead of time!
Wow, just realized all these great content came from a one day trip to the sub.
Yeah, I was positive it was a few days. We can be sure Destin wasn't lying when he said he was exhausted!
Such an earnest: "oh, neat!" when he finds the light in the bed
These Service Members are America's unsung heroes... Thank you all for your service and may God bless each and every one of you!
The XO looks so happy showing Destin him space like “ Yeah, so this is my room “ 😎
I agree. The XO seemed like a really nice guy.
Your videos are really awesome. You ask the right questions, you ask them in layman's terms, but you ask enough to satisfy even the biggest nerds thirst for knowledge. Great job, Destin, you keep us coming back!
This was such a great episode. There's so much to admire about the men that crew subs & I can see that harmony within the crew would be so essential. No doubt anyone with 'issues' would be weeded out quick smart.
Out of all the things he knows and sees.... finds a small light in the bunk bed, “Oh neat!”
No mention of the sound-powered telephone at his level in the spare rack in the XO's room. Clearly, it's setup so the CO can rack there in the event there is an admiral on board.
I don't know why, but the yeoman's smile is really contagious
Very

He was cute
@@ezequielcccln I get where ur coming from but Destin called him a yeoman and he didn't seem to mind. Anyways i appreciate you trying to make the world a better place
Really hope the last video drops before before im off to boot camp in like 3 days. So thankful for a full series that can help me understand a future job possibility
I love how the XO is always smiling. Seems like he really cares about his men and his job!
Things I did not expect to see when I woke up today.... 1. Destin taking a shower.... 2. Destin using a toilet....... Got to love this channels that can make the most normal thing a fascinating subject to watch :D
My dad was a navy corpsman back in the 80s-90s on submarines. He did have to perform an emergency appendectomy among other things while underway at sea. In his case they were able to meet up with a carrier support group a day or so later to offload the seaman to recuperate on a carrier and then picked him back up like a week or two later. He was on several subs over his career including the hammerhead, the sturgis, and the stonewall Jackson.
Your dad is cool bro
I hope to heaven no nuclear ballistic subs ever execute their strike capability because if they do, we all are doomed.
The crew all seem like such a great bunch of guys. Was really impressed by that.
This is a Very interesting experience you recorded. MUCH better than any typical KZheadrs' travel video! Thank You for this! I have watch some of your other videos, ]articular the ones that dealt with the Space program or engineering, but this really held my attention in a different way. Thanks for thinking of this adventure and documenting it in this way.
_MAN_ there are so many nice guys on that sub. Everyone seems just so friendly! Makes me wish I had joined navy to get a bunch of friends like that! On a side note, they really did roll out the red carpet for you. They planned your whole stay, who you'd interview, and even coordinated for waffles and ice-cream for breakfast!!!
Nah after he left they were mean
@@Sam-pn2kc any reason why you're saying this?
It's because they knew his video was going to be seen by millions so they wanted to present well. Also they planned the tour based on what he is allowed to see for military secrecy reasons
he only spoke to like 10 people out of the entire crew of 100+ people too. theres some douchebags on that boat for sure
Not really true when you first go to the subs it take a little over a year and you becoming Qualified in Submarines before you are treated nice at all.I became a Cook on two subs because I was hungry.
This whole time I was under the impression you were in there for weeks, not 2 days
Your note about the pressure being over one atmosphere stood out to me. Pressurized atmospheres are used in nuclear power to help maintain air isolation in the event... something going poorly. Airlock doors help with this.
Destin, I appreciate that you decided to cut off camera for the emergency situation. That's classy :) Interesting stuff, I like these little bits and wouldn't mind more of them - the every day life. I still don't get what moustaches have to do with morale, though ;) Maybe it's some inside army rule?
Good for you not filming or talking about the hurt Crewman without having to be told.
Yeah says a lot about him! He’s amazing!
Why couldnt he tell us what type of injury though :(
I wanna know the injury too! It sounds so interesting. Totally respect him for not filming it, but I wanna know how serious/what it was!! We wouldn't know enough to track down who it was if you tell us lol, it's effectively anonymous for everyone but those on board.
I'd like to have heard more, too. But, in the end, my interest is just scuttlebut. Gossip, and none of my business. Not worth compromising someone's privacy over. And if you dont think it compromises privacy, consider this: Any Big Tech Company (let alone a Hostile Nation) already knows what boat it was on, about when it happened, and being the North Pole, too? That narrows the profile down a LOT, already! If you want more, dig about a bit and I'm sure you will find lots of stories about people injured on submarines.
I was just thinking: ok i understand you didnt want to film. No doubt about it i would have the made same decision. I just thought it was weird he didnt tell us what type of injury it was. Dont you agree
8:06 I think these 4 seconds sum up Destin's channel in the most succinct way possible
Yes
amazing experience !!! i was in the navy reserves but for several years and I always ended up on land assignments
Thanks, you jogged some memories! I was really surprised to see the " thunder mug" hasn't changed a bit! Beware of quick vents.
I admire the dedication to your craft, man. Ain't everyone that'd respect the privacy of someone having a medical emergency, but pop a camera in the shower with you to show us what that's like. I love your work.
Destin's voice when he wakes up is exactly how everybody sounds like in a long train trip.
I’m guessing your across an ocean from me. In the US, trains are rarely ever used for human transportation.
@@ExplictKilling yup, you will be absolutely right in guessing that, but the trains are often a luxurious experience with the high class tickets costing more than flight tickets even. They are mainly used when you have a lot of luggage, or if you are just a freeloader, then you can probably hop on in the non AC cars.
@@ExplictKilling you're
These are just really cool videos. You are very fortunate to have been able to do this series. Good job!
Served several years in the Army and did a lot of weird stuff. This was so great to watch, cos i always wondered what it was like serving on a sub. And I love cribbage, learned it from my Dad. He was a sailor in the 50s.
The sub I served on I never once saw anyone play cribbage,maybe in the officers mess .
This is episode we all have been waiting for!
That's exactly what I wanted to say!
yup this is it
The next one, tho
same
Destin you're such a kind dude. Very rarely do I see somebody that has such a calm outward demeanor that I don't instantly think they have the propensity to blow a gasket in private.
I love that you chose not to show that persons medical emergency. Very respectful. You even blurred that medicated shampoo in the shower
Very interesting and informative. So great the Navy allowed you to travel with them a bit Dustin.
😂 Destin is really out here answering the world's biggest questions. I think this falls into the #2 spot on the list. 😏🤦♂️
#2 got it!
@@AM23. 😂 Thank you, I was worried no one would.
#1 is a leak takin seriously
Destin really got along with everyone really well, and 12:18 we see why. He is just a great guy.
You can't convince me that's not Mark Zuckerberg
I love the exhausted energy in the "Neat!" Talking about the bed light
This type of content seems almost impossible to make. Thank you Destin!
You know it is a different kind of "soldier" when they say "just a way to waste some time, blow off some steam, and do some math in your head".
