Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Augustine Torrez explains the role of the operating room aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8) to midshipmen from the Naval Academy. The group toured the ship's medical department during their 2012 professional training of midshipmen (PROTRAMID) program. Fifty-four midshipmen got underway with the crew of Makin Island to learn about naval surface operations and experience life at sea.
