Spent 20 years in the military and just curious what you think is the best BX/PX or Navy exchange....
I am sure the bigger bases will do better in this survey.

OK.. yes i know they are owned by the same company.... but you can not tell me the BX at McConnell AFB Kansas is as good as the one at Travis... No comparison......
So again..... Which one is the best......

Well the best PX I ever saw was at the Naval Base on Guam.
But the new PX at Fort Campbell, is supposed to be the largest PX in the world.
I haven't been there yet( I live in Clarksville )

My husband is active duty Army, and we currently live in Germany. With the Euro exchange rate sucking so bad for the dollar right now, I do 75% of my shopping at AAFES and the rest is mail order. Of the stores I have been to over here, they are pretty much the same as far as the PX goes; sometimes they have the bare minimum (like flip flops in the summer) but we are constantly driving to Kaiserslautern or Ramstein because they are both so much better and have a wider selection of just about everything.
Soo, I will definitely say that in Germany, the BX in general is much better than the PX.

I think they are all similar. I don't like shopping in exchanges because you get either really cheap stuff or stuff too expensive for the average person. Some of the children's clothing is absolutely awful. The household items are usually too cheap of a quality for me to buy. Though I will say I got a great deal on a Movado watch at the exchange in Tampa. These watches retail for over $500 normally and I got one for $199. And I purchased my son's Henckel's knife set through the exchange catalog really cheap and also his Le Creuset pan set. Though these two items are never found in the exchange itself, just through the catalog. These are the quality of items I wish they would sell instead of the really cheap pan sets and cheaper knives.

Fort Campbell's PX is the best I've seen. They just remodeled it and I'm pretty sure the sign said it's the biggest PX in the world. It's seriously HUGE.

There use to be whilst it grew to become into NAS Dallas, It grew to become into grew to become over to the county. There are actually military reserve instructions there, and a battery of the 14th marines there, i do no longer think of there is any PX there, if there is it is going to likely be way smaller then carswell.

That is a store by store deal, you will find the good, the bad and the ugly in all three.
In reality they are suppose to all be the same, but in relationship to the population of the Base/Post

Fort Jackson's PX is very nice, I think it's the newest one in the Army.

Surprised you don't know they are owned by the same company. The deals are slightly better than you can find outside. That's the only criteria.

The one at LSA Anaconda in Iraq. I used to think it was pretty lame until I saw a group of Ukranian soldiers go in. They reminded me of children on a Christmas morning. It helped me keep things in perspective.
