There are tons of interesting career opportunities out there that I never knew about:

Check out the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

I asked Sofia to write a little blurb about her job experience: Sofia Montalvo is an Ice Analyst at the US National Ice Center (USNIC). She studied meteorology at the University of Miami and atmospheric science at North Carolina State University, but did not know that mapping and forecasting sea ice for safety and navigation was a thing she could do. She loves her job for the mission it upholds: The USNIC Operations Department Analysts use remote sensing and model data to produce hemispheric, regional, and tailored ice and snow analyses. The Operations department is committed to the safety of navigation, protection of life and property, and government scientific research.

Note: The US Navy put no restrictions on me about what I should say or how I should present what I learned on this trip. Other than making sure my footage was cleared for Operational Security, I am free to say whatever I want about this experience. And here is what I want to say:

This was an absolutely incredible experience. The Navy personnel and Academic Research Scientists who kept me safe were incredibly professional. Every person I met was exceptional. Also, can I just say that the experience of going underway in a submarine was INCREDIBLE. I'm still trying to decide how I want to release the footage (when I receive the last of it after it's been OPSEC cleared). Right now I'm leaning towards a series of videos similar to a Smarter Every Day Deep Dive on the submarines. The name is certainly fitting!

I've also given a lot of thought to recent events here at home and around the world. It occurs to me that the US Navy brings stability and security to the world in a very unique way these days. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to meet these individuals so I now know how professional these people are.


Warm Regards,
Destin

FYI Destin filmed the call for my video on zero notice less than 12 hours before he flew to Alaska. He’s a class act. Thanks Destin!

[jonathanspivey]

Destin is the only person who turns a scientist's layman's terms into technical terms for his audience.. I love it.

[nochkeiner]

It is kinda funny how everyone tries to explain his stuff like Destin wouldnt understand but when he sums it up they all have the same "oh he knows his stuff" reaction.

[devilr]

when Destin gets wherever he goes and speaks THEIR language and they are surprised. That never gets old. Great vid bro.

[Rollotomasi]

I love those brief pauses by the scientist, when they realize Destin understands what they are talking about and is following along, the relief that they don't have to dumb it down for the interviewer.

[jiggermole]

I love how each time you asked the right question the ice guy went a level deeper in complexity

[SsjaonT]

That whole trip felt like a classic RPG, like he just walks around meeting people who give him quests and so on

[matthewcollier]

Love it when the scientists and stuff clearly get so relieved when they're trying to explain something in a super simple way and Destin realizes what they're talking about and offers the name.

[Awgolas]

I love how it's like all the branches of the armed forces are trying to 1-up each other for Destin. A year from now, we're gonna see "How I boarded a US SPACEFORCE LEO SPACE STATION"

Cinema guys: Cold weather reduces thermal noise on your camera sensor, so you will have crisp clear footage.

Next video: "How I partied with aliens in Area 51"

I used to serve with the chief of the boat on my last submarine, a true legend! I cant wait to watch the next video

“So most of you guys scientists?”
Undercover agent in the front going with the flow.
“yeah~ students yeah professors, staff.”

[kristianperez]

yo shout out to Destin for being smart enough to have real, coherent, interesting n engaging conversation with literally anyone he comes across ANYWHERE!

[JamesBartholomewMusic]

What I love about Destin's conversations, is you really see how people's confidence and demeanour change the moment they're able to talk about what they're passionate about.

You know Andy's a pro because it takes several minutes of walking around outside and chatting before he puts a hat on... and he's still not wearing gloves.

Destin: "So tell me what you do."

Everyone: *ICE*

[peervermeiren]

This proves again how Youtube is more interesting that standard TV.

[alexpeltzer]

"so most of you are scientists?"

that one guy went:
"heee :)"
