This was my second visit to the Armie Navie store, and once again I'm beyond satisfied. My first…read morepurchase was a pair of tactical boots and a tactical belt, which I previously reviewed because they were absolutely worth every penny. This time, I picked up Security patches for my bulletproof vest and a Security hat. As usual, they had exactly what I needed. That's one thing I really appreciate about this store. No matter what I'm looking for, they're ALWAYS well stocked and ready. The quality of the gear is solid, and the experience is always smooth. Marc, who runs the store, is knowledgeable, helpful, and makes sure you're taken care of without any pressure. Because of the consistency, quality, and service, this will ALWAYS be my go-to place for ALL my tactical and security needs. Highly recommend.

They sell lots of things beside mashetty.

Ran and grabbed a third shirt, didn't receive the discount. Didn't receive my military discount either because everyone was too busy talking to each other behind the counter. This is the second time this has happened to me so I will not be returning. I shouldn't have to ask for a discount that was offered to me, and I also shouldn't have to ask more than once for a military discount in a store that caters towards military.

I mean You can't even see the sign from the road. Luckily a kind lady who waited on me Gabe some really good directions to get there. Was looking for some sew-on Lieutenant patches, something they previously had in stock but now they don't. Can order them online but I needed them right away. So I left without. The store is small, a decent stock but nothing really spectacular. The prices are decent and the customer service is great. With that being said I would suggest shopping elsewhere if you are not in the area. I drove a great distance for some patches but they didn't have them. Happy Yelping.

Recently I needed a Vietnam era poncho for a client but was out so I bought one on ebay from Gi…read moreJoes Army Surplus in Newport News, Virginia. When the poncho arrived, I opened the box and it was a WWII Hoodless. I sent him an email immediately to let him know he had sent a more valuable poncho but that I needed to exchange it for a Vietnam era hooded poncho. I even told him that I knew the ponchos had come from SEICO based on the packing talc and the WWII Hoodless mixed in Vietnam era ones. I explained how I had received four of them in the past mixed in with about 120 of the 1959 dated ponchos I had purchased from SEICO. I included photos with my email as well. He insisted that the poncho had a hood as he could see the draw string at the neck. I responded that the WWII ponchos have the string at the neck. I sent the poncho back and expressed that I was in a hurry to get the correct poncho for a client. I was told that the replacement would ship as soon as the original was dropped at the post office. He never sent the replacement. Today he emailed that he had received the poncho and that I am attempting to deceive him. He states that there is no way he could have mistaken the ponchos, that he would have noticed color differences (I pointed out the WWII are rubberized on one side only), that I am a liar and trying to deceive him, etc. The man clearly is ignorant of the finer details of surplus and knows nothing of WWII goods. He insists that all USGI ponchos have hoods (no WWII ponchos have hoods). I tried to tell him to look at the ink stamps around the neck, he responded that it should have them at the corner (only hooded ponchos have them there). The ink stamp is very faint, but if he will wipe the neck area with a damp cloth he will see the Philadelphia QM info and manufacturer info. He is insistent I have sent him some foreign copy junk to cheat him and that he knows what he sent me. He cannot understand why I would send him a more expensive poncho back vs sell it and buy another one. I tried to explain to him that it is the principle of the issue. This was a teaching moment and i was trying to educate him on his stock and return the item that was clearly not what he intended to sell. My honestly has ended up costing me money. At this point I am out the poncho and the money and also have an order to a client that is extremely late due to his ignorance and incompetence. The fact he cannot understand why I would return an item of greater value speaks volumes to his character. I knew exactly who his wholesale supplier was when I saw it and even told him so! I literally have nothing to gain from lying to him about this. I would strongly encourage anyone to avoid doing business with someone of this nature.

There were no old school Army fatigue pants, no jungle boots, no strong leather duty belts. Instead they had knock off cargo pants that lacked the double stitching or buttons and cost double what they should, regular hiking shoes at double the cost, no canteens and the staff didn't seem interested in helping or even knowledgeable about what certain things were. I prefer Army Navy stores where there are real vets who know what you are talking about when you ask for something, are happy to help, have lots of inventory, and have actual real MREs, real steel canteens for long hikes, real camo tens and rucksacks. They're ok for some superficial stuff but not what I was hoping for.
