Anyone can join USAA as a limited member which means you can not get their insurance products or their BEST credit card rates and offers. The only way to qualify for full membership is to be a veteran yourself or have your qualified family member who is a veteran join first. I believe the primary member has to purchase their insurance products to qualify you for their full membership. But I know in my case anyway their insurance rates are the best out there and I have my full scope of insurance with them (Home / Auto / Umbrella). Their CSR's are very helpful and knowledgeable and I would rank them overall second only to NFCU as far as quality of offerings.
Starting Score: 500's
I'll look closer into it.

Unfortunately just having a family member who was in the military isn't enough. They have to be a current or past member of USAA. I believe your uncle or g'father could join USAA as former military and then you could join as a family member.
it can be if your grandfather or grandmother died in WW1 or WW2 
there's always ways to get in. I got into NFCU because my biological dad was in the Army and has accounts with them. Sad thing is my parents divorced when I was 2 so I don't even know he looks like, or know his birthsday lol, I got in because I was willing to provide a birth certificate that was provided from a military hospital. =)

Maiden Girl was talking about USAA, which has different requirements than NFCU. My grandfather was in the Marines, but I could only get ltd m'ship w/USAA because he was never a member.
