Hello Janai's Mom..I have noticed that Navy Federal Credit Union is affiliated with other branches. In my area they are affiliated with Golden 1, Schools and about 8 other credit unions. You can make a deposit in those branches as well if any of those are near you. I would just Google it. . Also, if you have Power of Attorney, you can open up a money market in her name or both names. Guess just depends how much it is. Another thought, with the power of attorney you can cash it and purchase a NEX Gift Card and send that to her. Hope this helps. Sending Navy hugs to all.!!

Janai'sMom, Call them tomorrow. You might be able to mail it to them. That way you can use a tracking service and have them sign for it.

Hi Kim, The nearest Navy Federal Credit Union is a good 2 hours away, and I'm not sure if it's actually on base, which I don't have access to. It's the only bank account she has, darn it. It's not a huge deal, I told her I could also mail her the check along with my usual care package, but it would take a couple weeks to arrive and she was just fine with that, but I was looking for a faster way to get it to her.

Janai'sMom, Been there, done that. Do you have a Navy Federal Credit Union near you?
My son had his final settlement check sent to my house when he sold his house. I went into a Navy Federal near me, gave his social and they were able to look up his account and deposit the check. I have done it with my other sons in college and my dad. You write "For deposit only" on the back of the check, go to any branch of a bank (or trust) were they have an account and they will deposit it into their account.

Hi Moms, I don't comment much, but love all your stories and read all the updates. I do have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. My sailor got a check recently that I'd like to deposit into her Navy Federal Credit Union Account. I have her routing information and bank account number. How do I go about doing that? I don't have an ATM card for that account, can I go into a branch and do it? I hate to send it to her in the mail, I'd much rather just deposit it for her. Any advice? Thanks!

Good morning and Happy Halloween!
Love those "flu" shots! and Jack...what a cutie!
Been busy here. Went on our annual Halloween camping trip last weekend. Everyone decorates their campsite and the little people trick-or-treat on Saturday evening. The weather was very warm...sunny and 80's...so we had lots of kiddos! But Mother Nature has decided to change things. It's suppose to be in the low 30's by game time tonight...yep football is still going on. Our team is 10-0! WooHoo!
Got a wonderful phone call from Sailor the other day. His ship has pulled into a port and he's enjoying some R&R. He was going golfing with his buddies....wished him luck...golfing is a first for him. He's always so happy and content with his life...does this momma's heart good to hear his chipper voice!
Hope you all have a spooktacular weekend!!!
