My father was a diver in the Navy, but we have been estranged for most of my life. They ask the last 4 digits of his ss#, but I don't have that information. Or, at least it might take some digging to find out. My question is, do I even qualify if he doesn't have an account there? Or, are there ways around getting in with NFCU?
Thanks for your replies!!
As StormWolf says it matters whether he retired or not. Unfortunately just service alone is not enough.
As for your question about as around a getting in, please don't try anything anyone might suggest if it's not a valid qualification for membership. NFCU has a very active security department who regularly monitors memberships to check for qualification. They have shut down many people after the fact and closed out accounts. They are very strict. Hopefully your dad retired and you'll be able to get in as it is a great CU.
You're right. I won't try any wrongful ways to get in, just hoped I might be able to. Looks like it's a negative, though. I'm pretty sure my Mother told me he went AWOL at some point so...I should have figured. Nothing really honorable about the man. This was sort of my last ditch effort at getting something of value out of the guy. 
Oh well.

I'm very sorry to hear. While I love NFCU there are a lot of other very good credit unions that do have 'backdoor' ways in. They may not be as forgiving as NFCU when it comes to credit issues but they are out there.
I'm sorry too.
But that's ok...because you always have options.
Look into other Credit Unions. Like in your State's county, or I see alot of people here on DCU or NASA CU.
