Military Abbreviation Help

Gravdigr · 06-05-2011, 12:40 PM

I saw where Popdigr had taken a pic of his father's military grave marker (pic below) this past Memorial Day. I get most of what's abbreviated there. 'Kentucky', got that part, 'World War II', got that. The rest, I guess, is:

Private, Company C, Armored REPL (this is the one I'm hung up on) TNG (which I suppose might be 'Training') and I think (from memory) the last bit (not in pic) is CTR.

I might think the REPL was for 'replacement', but, that doesn't seem to make sense, to me anyway.

I Googled around a little and this string shows up connected to Ft. Knox, where PaPadigr was stationed for a while.

Any of you military guys know what this might be?

Nevermind. Found my own answer when I re-read the Ft. Knox Wiki article.

Thnx anyway.

The Armored Force School and the Armored Force Replacement Center were also sited at Fort Knox in October 1940, and their successors remain located there today.
