    260326-N-TW177-1116 GREAT LAKES, Ill. (Mar. 26, 2026) – Sailors stand at attention during the capping ceremony at USS Trayer (BST-21) onboard Recruit Training Command (RTC), Mar. 26, 2026. Trayer, more commonly referred to as “Battle Stations,” is the crucible event that recruits are required to pass prior to graduation, testing their knowledge and skills in basic seamanship, damage control, firefighting and emergency response procedures. Training is approximately nine weeks and all enlistees in the U.S. Navy begin their career at the command. More than 40,000 recruits train annually at the Navy’s only boot camp.
