Fort Bliss Central Issue Facility (CIF) is highly praised for its friendly and helpful staff across various stations. Many reviewers highlight the exceptional service received, especially noting stations 1, 1a, and 2a, where personnel go above and beyond to assist, even providing insight on employment opportunities. One customer commends the staff, including a standout leader who actively helps throughout the process, making it quick and smooth, and expresses that this CIF is the best they have experienced after multiple moves. The positive attitude and professionalism of the staff, such as Maria at station 5, are appreciated for making long days more manageable. However, not all experiences are perfect; a reviewer mentions an unprofessional and rude staff member at station 4 who was on the phone and displayed a bad attitude. Overall, the facility is seen as a place that genuinely cares about service members, making transitions easier and providing a welcoming environment. The commissary staff is also recognized for being courteous and respectful, creating a positive atmosphere for veterans and service members alike.
Dont believe the hype. This CIF is full of common sense adults who treat Soldiers with respect.

Overall CIF experience here during in processing wasn’t bad, but they lacked some gear I was supposed to get issued, and calling to make an appointment to get those is impossible as the phone numbers do not work.

The Fort Bliss Central Issue Facility was absolutely magnificent. There were some issues when we first got there cuz the front office was closed but some of the soldiers told me that the office was still working and it was to the side of the building. Nonetheless, they took care of my needs and did a fantastic job! 💯
