This was a first for this sole purpose. Mainly boots, but also packs. They compete with REI no doubt. But they have an edge in my opinion on service. My service with Chase was phenomenal from entering the store to showing me every aspect of technical gear I would need on a two week European hike, or even local in the Appalachian. I walked out knowing much more and still researching. They did not have the specific hard to locate Lowa boots I wanted to try on. They are rarely retail, closest is NC. No purchases yet, but soon.

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.

From fire retardant apparel to task-specific EMA gear, comfortable footwear, and more - the selection in this store is vast. It is on the more pricey side of life, unless you catch the online sales - which some items are drastically reduced (check out the pursuit advance boots currently at almost 60% off original price!). Some items are no brainers, like the men and women's defender-flex pants with built-in stretch that offers comfort for CCW, complete with discrete back mag pockets - great for the range, but also doubles up for everyday wear without hindering fashion by offering slim or skinny fits for both men and women. Plenty of parking outside this store, staff are willing to help and assist from the moment you walk in. Great fitness apparel selection and functional belts.

No customer appreciation, or loyalty program whatsoever decided that I will take my business elsewhere and not return.

Very, very good. But not perfect. I'm wavering between 4 & 5 stars, to be honest…read more On the plus side, the staff is very helpful and courteous. The selection seems pretty good for the ranges of items carried. The surplus stuff is in good shape. The turnaround time on services is excellent. On the down side, something is wrong with their ID tag machine. The numbers came out correct, but the lettering isn't set along a straight line (jumps up and down). Plus, the embossing is the cheap, shallow kind instead of the better, sharper, longer-lasting deep kind. Not sure if they just bought a crappy ID tag machine or I was just unlucky. Also, the range of service equipment in stock is limited. Not too surprising that there isn't much on display for Army or Air Force types considering the local military population. Still slightly disappointing. Anyway, I needed replacement tags immediately and they were a lot faster than waiting two weeks at another surplus store or goodness-knows-how-long to get tags through my command. Recommend.

The spacious counter is conveniently located in the center of the store. It's staffed with a plentiful number of knowledgeable employees who are both friendly & helpful. Our quest for the day was for a Norfolk City Permit for my sister's new kayak. Although the Lake Smith/Lake Lawson Natural Area is in & maintained by Virginia Beach, the waterway winding through it is owned by Norfolk & requires a permit. It's far more convenient than applying for one on line & having to wait for the stickers to come. The second purchase was to buy a new CG approved life jacket since my friend in CG reserves told me they were monitoring kayakers after recent accidents. Her previous use of my life jackets from the boat I sold was to use them as back rests. No can do anymore!! They had a supply but none that fit my sister. So we left with only the City of Norfolk boat (kayak) license & sticker. It's a convenient & a valuable resource for us to be able to obtain the permit quickly and close. The same can also be said for fishermen & those who frequent the nearby waterways, inlets & the Chesapeake Bay.

I don't believe Ghost Army sells any of the uniforms or guns though.

The two men working at the shop were very friendly and explained the history behind a few of the artifacts they had on display. Definitely recommend visiting if you're into historic military memorabilia! They have a bunch of neat items to look at!
