Just some quick feedback, we were up at Hood today and I got to two of the places on my list...Centex in Temple and the Army Store in Copperas Cove. Both were decent places but mostly had uniforms. I did find a few interesting items but nothing that compelled me to dig out my wallet. I did find something at Centex that I should have bought as the price was pretty good, but given I already have one I figured I didn't need another especially since I have a Polish PNV-57 tanker helmet with IR googles on its way from Helsinki. Of course I was second-guessing myself all the way back to San Antonio.
The next time I get up there I will try the three shops closer to Hood. I read the Yelp reviews that were mixed, but I think most of the negative reviews were from soldiers who felt they didn't offer them enough for the gear they wanted to sell!
