Whats that mean? Independent contractor to mow the grass outside an installation? Tell me more
LOL...if you have any employment with a federal installation or entity your eligible (anywhere the military resides is federal property including recruiting offices in a mall
)
Hold on - I need clarification on that. Do you mean literally any "federal installation or entity", meaning any employee of the Federal Government, or just those associated with the Department of Defense? Everything I'd read seemed to indicate that only civilians associated in some way with DoD could join.

Not necessarily true, most National Guard facilities are State owned on State land. It all depends on the specific mission of that particular unit residing at a particular building.
I stand corrected on the National Guard front...I (and family) have only ever been Active Duty or Reserves.. however I will stand tall on the recruiters office we only let the Guard recruiters have a desk when they said "Pretty Please" and gave me chocolates..lol

Yes..if you or a immediate family member is currently employed or retired as a federal employee, dod, or as a civilian contractor can join. I will ask my neighbor when she gets home if that includes people working at the px or food courts (she works nfcu). Any federal installation means world-wide...so for instance your dad worked at the base in Germany as a civilian contractor cleaning bricks and retired 10 yr ago, now he can join and you could piggy back...please note I have the upmost respect for brick cleaners..and I in no way mean to disparage them

VERY interesting. I'm a Federal government employee, working for the Department of Justice. I had been given to understand that employees of Federal civilian agencies weren't eligible for NFCU, but if you're right...
EDIT: Um, better hold that thought. I looked it up on the NFCU website, and the exact phrase is "U.S. Government employees assigned to DoD installations". My workplace isn't a military installation, so I'm afraid that leaves me out after all...
However...HOWEVER...there may be another way in. The NFCU website notes that you can also join if you have, or had, a family member who is, or has been, in the military and is a member of NFCU, or is eligible for NFCU membership. I went through the online check as I have multiple relatives who are or have been in the military, including my father, stepfather, grandfather, uncle and cousin (including at least two Marines), but I don't know if any of them is or has been a member of NFCU. Therefore, I'll have to contact NFCU for assistance. Good news is that there's a branch near where I live, or maybe I can email them.

Ooops...my boo boo..I was strictly thinking military side, huge "brain fart" about other federal employee side...sorry
but on the flip side, you do have a good chance with dad, stepdad being military, just call them and ask
Join a hippy commune with a vet. Get him to join, and everyone else living there is eligible.
Other way around, you can rent a hobo to live with you, or have their official legal residence be the same as yours for a while, and join.
Kinda sketchy things to do, but it fits their rules.
