New troop store brings convenience to Ordnance Soldiers

To most people that is the sound of a cash transaction but to Soldiers at the Army's Ordnance School at Fort Lee it is the sound of convenience.

The convenience of having a brand new 4,500 square foot Army Air Force Exchange troop store just yards away from where they call home

"If you wanted personal hygiene stuff you had to wait till weekends, so with this being here; on weekdays you can walk across the street and get it so it is a lot easier."

Constructed under the watchful eye of the Norfolk District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, The $1.7 million facility means Soldier's attending classes can focus more on their daily routines rather than trying to figure out where they would buy everyday supplies.

"They don't have to go to the other side of the post, it is much more convenient, takes less time less effort and they can spend more of their time doing their work, their studies, their PT and that kind of thing."




"In addition to the troop store where Soldiers can buy food drink and supplies, a four seat barber shop also exists so they can get their hair cut as well; Just a little off the side please."

For Fort Lee's AAFES General Manager David Crain the new facility relieves some pressure on already existing exchanges on post.

"We'll have up to 4,000 new troops in this area, so there was definitely a need to serve our customers here."

Customers that are extremely pleased to have the added benefit of a brand new troop store right next door.

"We are spoiled. Far more options on where you can go as opposed to when my dad was in."

From Fort Lee Virginia, Patrick Bloodgood.
