REPLACEMENT DEPOT

 

Camp Shenango - Pennsylvania

 

A temporary facility for the transfer and replacement of "trained" soldiers

to  where they might be needed.  From there, you could be sent North,

South, East, or West.

It was an isolated and uneventful place with no one ordering you to march

or excercise. 

This is where we put back the weight we lost in basic training.
