USAA
I just wanted to give a shout-out to USAA, which is our primary bank, lending institution and car insurance company. I’ve been dealing with them for four years now, starting when Mike deployed to Iraq at the beginning of our relationship and left me with a power of attorney to attend to his affairs. They have consistently bent over backwards in the customer service department, and I always encourage military friends to join while they’re eligible.
Here’s the good news: They’ve changed their eligibility requirements to now include…
Former military personnel:
- If you’re no longer in the military, you are eligible until you turn 35.
- If you continue to serve in the military after you turn 35, eligibility expires upon separation or retirement from the military.
So – if you’re former military, under 35, and not a USAA member yet – go join now!
Thanx. I kicked myself for not having signed up when I had the chance. Not that it matters now; what with the world ending and all …
Well hey, if the world is ending, it might as well end with us all being USAA members. ;)
Thanks for the heads up. I already have membership, however a buddy of mine missed the window. Guess he’s now eligible so I’ll be giving him a call tomorrow.
No problem! I just had a buddy sign up last night, too.
Thanks. I remember when USAA was officers only. Thankfully they saw the light and now let people whose parents were married join.
LOL! I’ve gotta admit, that one took me a minute. ;)

This reminds me, the Marines wouldn’t let me join for the same reason. Guess I was the lucky one …
Fuckin A, USAA kicks ass. I was lucky enough to be able to join under my stepdad. Now my wife and I both have accounts.
Been a member for years now. Good stuff.
USAA has always been the best. Had a house-fire last summer. Things NEVER go as fast as you need them to, but in the end, the house was fixed up, better than before, and we had money in the bank left over…..
USAA is amazing … although, was always a little wary of the banking because they didn’t have local branches I thought it would be difficult. apparently not.
