Ranger Joe’s

Great customer service whether in person, shopping online, or over the phone.

The management and staff are beyond friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond for me and I will be eternally grateful. They are now certainly my go to place for all gear for as long as I am in GA.

BLUF: Wide variety of tactical gear but often overpriced but they can make name tapes and stitch badges in a matter of minutes while you shop.
The first time I visited Ranger Joe’s was when I first came to Ft. Benning. After having purchased multiple items from their website, I new I had to at least check out the venue.
The set up is neat with weapons and mannequins. The first floor is filled with tactical gear ranging from a variety of knives to equipment like ACH Head-​Loc chin straps. This is a common one stop shop for guys preparing their packing list for RASP or Ranger School. The second floor has an abundance of uniforms and boots.
While they have a broad selection, I am more prone to take my shopping to Commandos or online for just the price; however, I’m happy to take my uniforms to be sown to Ranger Joe’s.
⁵⁄₅ on customer service, dry cleaning, and selection but prices could be lower to be competitive with online merchandise.

Took some shirts to get sewn up. They are a common item, airborne instructor black shirts. When I was asked what I needed done, the guy behind the counter acted very uncertain as to what I was asking to be done. It was a very simple alteration; sew a name tape to shirt. I left the shirts not feeling confident but figured I would give ranger joes a shot at earning my business. When I came back to pick the shirts up, they were completely wrong. I asked for them to be fixed, the lady acted as though it was my fault they sewed them wrong. She warned me that there may be a charge for redoing the work. I told her I’d take my business elsewhere, she then rolled her eyes at me and then finally agreed to fix the deficiencies. When I came back a few days later, the guy behind the counter tossed the bag at me and walked away. I inspected my items and left. I will never return business here, ever. They wouldn’t exist without service members, and to treat one like this is bs.

They overprice a lot of their stuff, those rolling backpacks are $ 150 where as the PX has them for $ 80. But they do have some good stuff like their patches are 30−100% cheaper than Military Sales on Benning which are usually ok prices on post but Benning over charges you for patches. 2ID patch is $ 4.50 at Ranger Joes, Military store has two for $ 15.40! Commandos is also very good so check out both.

As a long time buyer of ranger joes, I have decided to cut ties and start taking my purchases to commandos.
I went to ranger joes in need of new boots. I told the sales associate I was looking for a cheap pair of boots that were within the new regulations. She brought me a pair of boots that were $ 40 dollars. I thought how can you beat that? I tried them on and ended up purchasing 2 pairs of Corcoran 10 in desert boots at $ 40. I thought what a steal. She told me that they were from the clearance rack and that’s why the price was so low.
I went home and started wearing one pair the next day. I wasn’t feeling them several days later but thought to myself that I have been wearing nike and Oakley boots the past 7 years, so I will just need to break these in. 2 weeks go by and I’m not feeling this boot. I understood I was unable to return the one I wore but I will exchange the second pair.
I returned to the store in an attempt to exchange the packaged, unlaced, unworn second pair. The manager said that he would not honor an exchange because they were clearance. I informed him that I asked their policy upon purchasing regarding the return of boots and they did not mention that. He still would not honor an exchange regardless if I exchange them for a $ 150 dollar boot. He informed me that there are signs saying no return on clearance even though his sales associate brought me the boots (so I did not see the sign).
I’m not too torn up about it because the boots were $ 40 dollars just the fact that I was attempting to exchange for a boot 3x the price of these and they still wouldn’t work with me. I just know now to take my business were I can be assured that their representatives will be more willing to please the customer as well as make a profit for their company.
In my opinion, you should not lose a customer on a exchange if it benefits both parties but I guess ranger joes has different policy’s.
just go to commandos

It’s a good establishment for finding items you need RIGHT NOW because you forgot something on your packing list, if you’re attending Ranger school or JM or BOLC, etc. and you pay a little more than the cheapest you can find online or driving around to the other surplus stores surrounding Ft. Benning. The customer service is decent and the staff are professional and fairly quick. My only warning is, if you want British jump wings for your dress uniform, they do not carry the correct ones. I know this after having been attached to the 4^th battalion, Parachute Regiment. Also they don’t carry Oakley boots which was disappointing.

What a place! Free beer and tacos everyday! The 50 caliber machine gun really added to the Feng Shui.
I wood have never visited a place like this on my own, but I met a handsome young soldier on
and he asked me to meat him there for a frap and some kangaroo jerky.
It was a magical afternoon and after I left his barracks that night, I knew I’d have to divorce my wife and marry him.
We plan on dressing our wedding party in camo and Boonie hats from Ranger Joe’s! I’m gonna pick up some camo condoms for the night we consummate our marriage. I just hope they have size XS in stock. They were all sold out. Must be because of it’s close proximity to Fort Benning. See you soon, Joe!

I’m a fan of Ranger Joe’s. I remember this place from my time at Fort Benning, and I’ve placed a few orders with them online since then. As lots of people have already noted, the prices are certainly not the best but it’s a good store with good selection. It’s worth the extra few bucks for the convenience of getting exactly what you want.

If you can’t find it on post or need to have it right now and can’t wait for something to ship from online, Ranger Joe’s is your place. The prices are higher than what you will find on post or online but that’s due to overhead costs, typical. Having said that, they have a lot of crap in the store.

Convenience for me! I don’t have to have my boots, special ordered, (I wear a size 5), which made it easier to get ready for more important tasks. I’ve ordered online, and have shopped in person, both experiences have been no hassle.
One online order was delayed, customer service called, and emailed me with information. I was kept informed of what was going on, and got my order as promised. Needless to say, I appreciated that customer service.
Some prices are high compared to what you might find at clothing sales, and other supply stores but the selection is large, and you can usually find what you need right there.

Not the cheapest Army supply store in Georgia and on the Internet, but probably one of the very best.
When you need ACU and other Army gear ASAP, check out Ranger Joe’s. They have the stuff in stock and it is ready to go.
Believe me, I have dropped a grand or two with these guys in my time. :-)
Hooah!

There customer service is excellent. You get free water/​coke when you first walk into there shop. The only thing that they lack is good prices. Most of there items are a tad overly priced.

«Commando’s is going to take over Ranger Joe’s,» that’s what my friends said to me a year or so ago and now that I’ve been to both I can see that he’s right. The selection here is limited, particularly with boots I found and with two floors it’s just not as accessible and they do carry less than Commando. The coffee shop is interesting but nothing about a surplus store makes me think «I can hang out here.» They do offer some interesting services like map lamination, which I think is pretty cool but something that I can get done at a Kinko’s for cheaper or I can do it myself with acetate.
The clearance store is really small and seems like a clearinghouse for irregular items-​an iffy proposition when it comes to uniforms and even iffier when there are signs posted that say «ALL SALES ARE FINAL.»
Pricewise, it’s hard to tell, I was looking at boots and they weren’t carrying the brand I was looking for so comparison shopping was out of the question. They do seem to carry more ‘novelty’ items which turns me off a bit, since I’m primarily looking for equipment not cool guy military t-​shirts.

I got my dad (Airborne Ranger, 173^rd Airborne Brigade Separate) a Father’s Day gift from Ranger Joe’s, as we stopped by the store on the way back from Ft. Benning. He picked out a lined pair of Army pants with yellow stripes down the side and a back pocket. This high-​quality pair of pants only cost $ 23.
I noticed that the store carries Ranger merchandise for wives and mothers of Rangers, to help display their pride. However, I wish there were a daughter-​themed something, so I, too, can show my support for my father.
Ranger Joe’s is a nice store. If courageous men shop there, it’s something special.

They’ve got about anything military related you might need. Prices as good as anywhere else and selection better than most of it’s type. Parking can be a pain if it’s crowded and the «discount» store didn’t seem to have much of anything.

If you’re a Soldier who is gutting through RIP, Ranger, Airborne, or one of the many other suck courses taught at the home of the Infantry, then this is your place. When you can’t find that one item that will make life easier at the MCSS store on post, then you can come to Ranger Joe’s to make it happen.
Honestly, if it makes life too easy, then a rambunctious and sadistic RI/​black hat will usually relieve you of the item — after all, no one said being a Ranger/​paratrooper/​jumpmaster should be easy, right?
However, if you’re expecting to use the barbershop next door and get a style cut, beware. The barbers do high and tights all day long and you’d be better off going to a Hair Cuttery to avoid looking like the rest of the grunts on Benning.

One of two major military supply stores right outside of Benning, Ranger Joe’s offers a wide variety of items. Unlike Commando, they do not pre-​pack for BCT/​OCS, etc. so you are left to fend for yourself.
I’m not sure how their prices compare with Commando, and the only service offered that I’m aware of is dog tag printing, though I’m sure they offer other services too.
Attached to the store is some type of coffee shop with free wi-​fi, as well as a barber shop. The discount store is small and did not seem to offer anything useful.
