    250814-N-MK109-1019 GREAT LAKES, Ill. (Aug. 14, 2025) Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, James Honea (right), and Capt. Kenneth Froberg, commanding officer of Recruit Training Command (RTC) (left), attend the capping ceremony on the pier of USS Trayer at RTC. Trayer, more commonly referred to as "Battle Stations," is the crucible event that recruits must pass prior to graduation, testing their knowledge and skills in basic seamanship, damage control, firefighting and emergency response procedures. Training at RTC is approximately nine weeks, and all enlistees in the U.S. Navy begin their careers at the command. More than 40,000 recruits train annually at the Navy's only boot camp.
