The exchange was nice, but after going into the barber and being told $26.00 to get a standard military cut. I would rather go to a Navy barber and pay $12.00.

Everything you might need. The uniform section usually doesn't have the more popular "average" sizes, but if you need 48 extra long trop pants, you're in luck. Plenty of medals in stock always. Other non uniform Coast Guard apparel, great as gifts for supportive family and friends. Decent snacks, some electronics. Oh and there's some alcohol in the back, you won't be able to miss it.

Been going there for years. It's my 1-stop place for everything from ice cream sandwiches to other essentials. Although personnel recently underwent some change, everyone has been & is a pleasure to be around.

GOOD customer services, unfortunately the store is not in touch with it's community , not everyone buys skinny jeans, need more clothing selection, and sizes greater than large. they no longer carry grills mowers , why not expand into the old commissary. better upper management please.

This is a very nice Exchange. The people are nice and they have a lot of good stuff there. They do have a descent size selection of uniforms for their size. You might not find everything you would want here like you would in Norfolk, but it's definitely worth a look.

My experience was very good...The prices on the alcohol was superb. I hate the Nex moved the cash register from the garden center section. I always enjoyed hopping in the garden center and purchasing my items and back to the car making a quick exit. Bring the cash register back to the garden center.

Good size base per se is sad to be honest but the exchange is about 1000sqf had some variety. Nice for people working there this is not a base to go enjoy with family members but the boats are amazing

The liquor section is a third of the store... Great staff and usually pretty well stocked. Good for "convenience store" type stuff.

great prices and always something new for sale. not as big of a store as the main exchange. I picked up this limited edition REDDS "Pineapple Beer". gives Angry Orchard Apple a run for their money, taste better than original REDDS Apple to me.

I expect to run into ignorant workers at Wal-mart but not the NEX. One more expectation ruined. Great job. Might be important for your workers to know who can shop there and who can't.

Showed up to get a haircut at the barborshop 35 mins before closing and was kicked out and told they were not taking anymore, the place didnt even have that many people in line when they started kicking people out and we were provided no reason. There was 2 other people who arrived around the same time as me who were also sent away BEFORE closing.

The exchange staff themselves are awesome, but this one barber an older black guy (not gentleman) is rude as hell. I sit down in the seat and the first thing he says is "What do you want? I don't cut hair twice so be sure." Listen guy, if your reading this review, you're not doing me any favors I PAY YOU to cut my hair saying that is like saying "I suck at cutting hair so don't ask me to fix it." Never going back there again unless one of the two very nice women who also work there are working. He alone is the reason I'll never go back there again. Also, worst haircut I've ever had, ended up looking like a bowl cut. No wonder he gets sick of fixing it.

All your coast guarding needs.***Almost all of the pics are of the Navy Exchange, which is not on this base.***This store is not much larger than a convenience store, but they do have a lot to offer!

May 31st, I came to this store to return an unused laptop. I go the the electronics and a second lady approaches, inspects the computer and the receipt. After a few moments, she carries the computer to the back to talk to a supervisor. After waiting for about twenty minutes, I see the same lady walk to the front checkout area and asks another lady if the laptop is refundable. So I walk up there and noticed the checkout girl was on the phone with a “tech support” from Apple, asking if a damaged and scratched item was refundable?? I looked at the lady who had the item and asked? Why did you tell tech support the it’s damaged and scratched and if so, I’d like for you to point it out to me. (Because there were none.) after I asked both ladies where the damages are, not one stepped up to point out any “damage and scratches”. What a shady ass place to shop.......

A typical Navy Exchange but small. Something more than a Convenience store but not a large store. It does have a good package store section.
