Many meters under water, with the entire submarine crew locked up in a very small space and no contact with the outside world. If in doubt, be prepared for an emergency: war. Claustrophobia? Nobody should have that here! What is it like to live and work on a submarine? Aminata wants to find out for follow me.reports. For the next seven hours, she will be diving through the Baltic Sea with Chief Petty Officer Florian and the 28-strong #Navy crew. So put on your life jacket and get ready to cast off! On board on the high seas, there is first a safety briefing. After all, Aminata also has to know what to do in an emergency. If, for example, the submarine fills with water, the order is “all hands out of the boat”. Then there is the first exercise. A soldier from another unit is to be brought on board. Everything is thought of here. There is even a diver on standby in case someone falls into the water. During a tour, Florian shows Aminata the crew's beds. Pretty tight. But not only here: the entire submarine doesn't offer a lot of space. That can lead to tensions within the crew, right? How does it feel for Florian to be on board with the same people for weeks at a time? Every now and then there are reports of sexism in the navy. Shortly before filming began, we in the follow me.reports editorial office also received a message from a former naval trainee. She wrote that she had broken off her training because of sexism. That's why Aminata is still talking to the press officer. How does she rate such accusations? What advice would she give to women who experience sexism on board? At the end of the day there is a farewell ceremony. Stand still! Step forward for a beer! Florian thinks: Aminata did very well on her first day in the submarine. _______________ IN THE VIDEO: Aminata Belli on Instagram: / aminatabelli MUSIC: Ultravox - Vienna Jonathan Bree - You're So Cool Blood Orange Feat.
