Interesting, I am honorably discharged from the military back in 2004.

Ill have to check who they pulled but Im sitting at about 660 EQ9 with 30 inquiries. Highest limit before this one was NFCU 10k for CLOC and 8K for NFCU AMEX.
Thanks to this board I have gone from 1 starter card to go with my 526 score to 8 major cards in 2 years.
OP,
WooHoo! That is amazing...and hopeful!! Did you apply for the Pathfinder the first time around as well??

I applied for the Signature first go around. I wouldnt have applied for anything AMex because at the time I thought the blacklist applied to branded cards. I happen to recently come across a thread that said it didn't apply. I have since been taken off the blacklist too, so also great new there!
