I would call them and ask. The worst they could say is no. If you can join NFCU, you should becuase Navy Federal is an excellent CU.
Please let us know what they say. I am curious.

@I will let y’all know. I have lots to do next week credit wise, and I intend to knock some of it out on the beach @ Maui
Edit: does NFCU HP on new checking/savings accts if I’m not seeking a CC on the way in? If I get in on a SP could I get a CC later on via SP?
Most recent reports show that there is no longer any HP for membership. You WILL get a HP for a credit card.

Membership shouldn't be a HP, but any credit product definitely will be. (They often make it worth it, though.)

I was in the army almost 20 years ago for a few months. My DD214 discharge reason says: FAILED MEDICAL PROCUREMENT STANDARDS (discharged for medical reasons while in boot camp). I don’t think I’m a veteran and never received or sought VA benefits.
If I have a DD214 showing I was in the armed forces at all, would I be eligible to join NFCU?
Did you ever join?
My DD214 says the same thing, "FAILED MEDICAL / PHYSICAL / PROCUREMENT STANDARDS". I was discharged in basic due to an injury that occurred there. I wasn't med board; so I don't have veteran status either. A few months ago I called NFCU and explained my situation and asked if I was eligible to join. The lady I talked to put me on hold for about 30 seconds, and when she came back she said I was eligible. Her voice really picked up when I mentioned I had a DD214. She asked me to read some things off of it and asked how I wanted to fund my new accounts. No hard pull for opening savings and checking.
Be honest about your situation. You don't want to commit fraud, and you also don't want to run afoul of the Stolen Valor Act.

My apologies for the delayed response. Joining NFCU has slipped my mind. I reached out to their Social Care Team on Facebook and they assured me that I am eligible. Exciting news for people with a scenario similar to ours!
