My maternal grandfather was also in the marines, but i have no relationship with him or way to contract him. My step grandfather was in the army and my uncle (dads sisters husband) was in the air force.
You are eligible through your grandfather. Call NFCU. They are open 24/7/365. They will talk you thorough the membership application process. Hope to read of your membership approval.

My grandfather (moms father) was in the military. He has long since passed. Does this still qualify me or would he have to be living now?

Thank you guys so much for this information. My grandfather was in the army and was discharged back in the 40's. Unfortunately he passed away when I was very young. I never thought that this would make me eligible for membership until I saw this thread. I called Navy today and asked them, and was told yes that I was eligible. They told me that I might need a copy of his DD 214, but they told me how to obtain it online. They took my application over the phone and then sent me an email to verify my identity by uploading my documents. So excited right now. Thank you guys.
