Beautiful Work ! Excellent quality ! Flawless printing! They worked with me to ensure each certificate had all the correct details which took a lot of emails back and forth but every email was answered promptly and professionally. Each certificate was carefully placed in a document protector as well. I'm very happy with the quality of my certificates and customer service provided. Thank you SG USN ret

Did the owner's wife escape from a state mental institution?…read more My husband just retired from the Air Force and we went into Major Dad's to trade in two duffle bags of old military gear for store credit. The store was empty save for the owner's wife who was working the counter. As soon as she saw how much gear we had she began yelling at us about not bringing in more than a few items to trade in at one time. She also insisted that we had some kind of an old Army uniform in the bags despite the fact that we told her over and over again that he was Air Force! When my husband asked why she wouldn't take what we had she began screaming about how she had bookkeeping chores to do and that it would take her one week to inventory what we had. She then insisted that we leave the stuff with her so she could have her husband (who works a full time job somewhere else) inventory it on the weekend. My husband was afraid of theft so we decided to take the gear and go elsewhere. It gets good in the next paragraph! She then proceeded to curse both my husband and I out as we left the store! I am a very Christian woman and the words that she was using were very offensive. We then drove to another military surplus store in Lexington. The guy there only took 15 minutes to inventory everything we had and give us an offer. If she is THAT stressed by working in a slow retail store, she should tell her husband that she does not want to work there anymore! I used to work at a state psychiatric hospital in Indiana and her behavior reminds me of some of the more unstable patients that I worked with! She actually scared me when she started screaming and yelling at us. She needs SERIOUS psychiatric help before she scares more customers away from her store! I hope that her husband sees this because his wife is not a stable person!

I take that my original review was deleted, or I never posted it, but I'm still determining why;…read morewell, the Army Surplus Warehouse on E Loudon is my go-to for Army Surplus goods. They have fair prices on all patches: Marine Corps, Navy, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, military wars, conflicts, and Veteran patches. Plus, they have Army-issued backpacks, the University of Kentucky flags, and other items like vintage M-65 field jackets, vintage CWU-45 flight jackets, liners, license plate frames, and an assortment of pins. Please see attached photos for further details. Today, I found several Great Lakes Naval Training Center food trays, not the separated sectional kind, but a tray to sit plates and cups on, which will work out well for the kids. They're always spilling drinks or food while watching TV or playing games. They were only $4.50 each. Honestly, it's worth a stop to look around if you're in the vicinity. You never know what you might find. Also, I suggest calling if it's late in the afternoon to ensure that they're still open. Finally, the owner is soft-spoken but willing to start a conversation. So, do not be too standoffish. Share some war stories. I've noticed that several other veterans stop in for a chat too.

The first pair, the guy at this location told me just to grab a replacement, which made me spend a few hundred on shirts because of good business practices. This time, the guy refused to honor the guarantee on the pair included in the picture. Claiming normal ware and tear on the back of the jeans clearly on the middle inseam! I told him after a year goes by, I'll stop bringing them back in. Already ordered replacement ridge pants that hopefully hold up better (not as light as Meridian unfortunately). I'm not looking for handouts, but want to get my money out of them so it's not a complete waste (I have all the colors). Now I've lost a lot of confidence in the company as a whole. I have a lot of their clothing, backpacks, and accessories. Before, I was assured that the quality is so good that they'll stand behind it. Now that they're not, the quality must be causing them too many problems to keep up with that assurance. Third picture is the size of pants compared to fresh order made a month ago. I haven't added on in size which would be a meaningful denial as well. He just kept repeating the same thing like one of my toddlers. Just doing what he's told is my guess.
