Selectives Buckling Down To Camp Routine At Camp Dix
Plainfield and Union county elect ive men arrive for muster at the 183d Depot Brigade to begin the transition from civilian life to National Army service. They register, settle into barracks, and begin rough drill in civilian clothes as veteran guides ease the adjustment to army life. The early days are monotonous and irksome, with a brisk push toward full acceptance of military discipline and routines. Within a week they should adapt enough to feel less out of place as they receive meals and training, moving toward full integration with khaki-clad comrades.
