What does the rest of your profile look like? Sounds like you may need some diversity (revolving credit, car, personal loan). 

 

You can try AMEX BCE or Everyday. I've seen some stories on here of approvals in that same range as you. Also, try Capital One.

1. do you qualify to join Navy?

2. I would check pre-qual offers for capital one and if you get one, apply.

3. check pre-qual for chase.com also... if you get one apply... if not don't.

CALL Navy ASAP and see if account is still active and apply for credit if so.
