Antonio Fernando Garcez Faria, chief of Brazilian navy training, through a simulated missile-damaged berthing compartment during a tour of Recruit Training Command (RTC). More than 30,000 recruits go through battle stations annually, a grueling 12-hour culmination of basic training and the last evolution recruits accomplish before they graduate. (U. S.
