      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.

      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".

      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.

      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 ).

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.

    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.

    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.

    _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!!!

      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

      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.

    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?

    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.
