260604-N-MK109-1053 GREAT LAKES, Ill. (June 4, 2026) Sailors don their Navy ballcaps during the capping ceremony at USS Trayer (BST-21) onboard Recruit Training Command (RTC), June 4, 2026. 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.
