I've usually see em in the movies and stuff like that. Little long tubes like hand held flares which upon breaking or twisting emits faint green light sort of like the radium stickers and stuff like that and are these available in military surplus stores?

The term we always used for them was "Chem-Lites." Didn't matter what color or where they came from. The color of them is dictated by the color of the plastic tube that the liquid is in.
You should be able to find them at most outdoor/sporting good stores, possibly a military surplus store, and even Wal-Mart.

Here in NZ I think they're called cyanolume sticks. They're widely available in shops and they're useful in civil emergency kits, along with candles and a torch. They're useful as a replacement for a torch where there's flammable vapour and you don't want sparks. They get their name from the colour of the light they emit; cyan, or blue-green.
