Genuine military surplus is a great passion for many people. For some finding military surplus is just a hobby, for others it is synonomous with high quality or better than commercial. As a member of a military family and family owned Army Navy Store , we offer genuine U.S. military and European military surplus items in addition to military spec items. Military spec means that the item is not purchased by the government and issued to our troops but that the item meets military specifications and is made by a commercial supplier. We carry items from reputable vendors including Rothco, Tru-Spec, Propper, Fox, Cammenga, Corcoran and others. I encourage everyone to email me with any questions you may have concerning genuine and mil-spec items. I know the real deal since I am a member of the MI National Guard and recently served in Iraq. This was my second tour in the U.S. Army (both times as a Supply Sergeant. Hooah!
