Courtney Aaron
Shift Manager
Fort Belvoir Military Clothing Store
Courtney exemplifies what great customer service is all about! We recently received a customer comment about the amazing customer service she provided to a valued customer on purchasing her Army Green Service Uniform at the Fort Belvoir MCSS. Thank you for being a great example of what “Family Serving Family” truly means!
“I just arrived here from Fort Campbell and didn’t have much confidence in the MCSS at Fort Belvoir. I went in on a Saturday to ensure I had plenty of time to spare as I was sure it was going to take a while to get everything I needed for my dress uniform. To my surprise, I was mistaken. I asked an employee about the shoes I needed, she went and got them for me with ease. When she returned, she told me they were currently out of the pants and ties for females but asked if I needed help with the other items I needed for my uniform. Not only did she did she help me find the clothing I needed, but she helped me with name tape, medals, rank, combat and unit patch, service and combat stripes, socks and the belt. She was a godsend! The most professional and proficient associate I have dealt with since I’ve been here. She reminded me of when I was in Germany, shopping on the economy. Where when you ask a sales associate for help, they’re always able to assist you because they’re trained that way. I’ve always found myself wishing American sales associates performed like the Germans, only with better attitudes. I finally found one! She was professional, proficient, had a wonderful attitude, and most of all she was customer friendly. Kudos to Ms. Courtney and thank you again! I would have been lost without you. The fact that you’ve never served and you’re so knowledgeable about the uniform says a whole lot about you and the effort you put forth to ensure your customers are satisfied.”
