There is an exchange convenience store near the Legion Gate in building 464 which sells alcohol, snacks, drinks, hotdogs, medicine, magazines, and household convenience items. This location also has a video rental section that sells used DVDs and Blue Ray disks. This store is known as the Butler Express and is open 24 hours a day.
There are two financial institutions located on Camp Foster. Community Bank is located in building 1005 and is the only of the two financial institutions that can exchange foreign currency https://www.dodcommunitybank.com/m/locations/banking_center?id=678 .
Navy Federal Credit Union serves all branches of the military to include DoD members and their families. The credit union is located near the base theatre across the street from Popeye’s in building 1009. For more info on Navy Fed visit their website at: https://www.navyfederal.org/branches-atms/locations-by-service.php?branch=MarineCorps
There is a fully functional United States Post office that offers retails services such as Express mail, Priority Mail, standard shipping, stamp sales, and money order sales. It is located near the Main Exchange food court in building 1006. The post office accepts cash, credit, or debit cards. The Foster post office also houses PO boxes which are issued to personnel with an area clearance. Despite many misconceptions, a sponsor can reserve a PO Box for an inbound family as long as he has a copy of that inbound family’s area clearance and orders. It is extremely helpful for a family to know their new mailing address before they have to move to Okinawa. All posts offices on Okinawa are closed Sundays, Wednesdays, and federal holidays.
fantastic issues altogether, you simply gained a
emblem new reader. What may you recommend in regards to your put up
that you made a few days in the past? Any sure?
My husband and I spent a hour or more choosing a carpet to put in our home at the Foster Furniture Store. We paid for the carpet and set up the delivery service and were expecting the carpet tomorrow. Today we received a call from the store asking us to come in as they had lost our order slip. Upon arrival we were told that the man that did the transaction for us never put a sold sign on our carpet and it was already sold and out of the store. All the store offered was for us to pick a new carpet. Seriously?!?! No discount, no nothing except sorry we messed up pick a new one at the same price of the other one you already paid for. I am beyond furious and will never shop at this store again! Highly recommend you take your business elsewhere if you would like to take home the actual products you purchase!
Kimberly,
I highly suggest you contact the customer service reps or store feedback link at:

Heard that Captain D’s is closing soon. Will miss their seafood entrees. I hope they have something comparable to replace such a fine establishment. So Macaroni Grill goes, now Captain D’s…
Say it ain’t so! Not the good Captain of D! Groan.
Captain D’s was gross, let’s be honest. They are putting an Arby’s in that space.
Passport Office Changed: it is now in the IPAC building. The hours are 0730-1100 & 1300-1600 daily, except Thrusdays which is 0730-1100. They also do schedule appointments (highly advised) online @ campfosterpassports.setmore.com.
Thanks so much for this update, Catherine; I’ve added this information into the post.
Service station info directs to Kinser, not Foster. Thought you all should know. Thanks.
Good catch, Carol – thanks for pointing that out. I’ve put the link that directs to Camp Foster in there instead.
Update, tours plus is no longer between the bowling alley and commissary. It is now Sumo Burrito and a frozen yogurt shop. Tours plus is located near the theater in the Tsunami Gear sports shop. Semper Gumby! (always flexible)
Uncle Sams Attic (Thrift Shop) – is NOT located on Foster. It is located on Kadena Air Base. . . fyi
Good catch Nash, I must have had my notes mixed up.
Thanks for catching this, Nash; I’ve removed that from this post.
Can I know if tourist can visit Camp Foster area? I’m particularly interested in the Marine Thrift Shop.
Most of the bases open their gates to the general public during special events or festivals. Under normal conditions an authorized DOD ID card holder or person granted regular base access would have to sign in any guests and stay with those guests.
