Does anyone know if it is possible to join the NFCU as a depper?  Should my daughter just wait until she gets to basic and do the paperwork there, or should she be prepared and already have an account established.  She has an account right now with Bank of America, but they are notorious for sneaking in finance charges.

She must be in the military to join the NFCU, deppers are not in the military.  So the answer is no, she can't join it.

Angie - I don't agree...

You can be a Depper and join NFCU.  Here is the rules:

I understand what the rules say and even showed them to the NFCU at the GL base, they said no deppers.  Reason is due to them either not joining or not makingit through bootcamp.  So they said they don't allow Deppers.

Angie - Are you sure?  If so, I'm just gonna hammer on these guys.  It's part of their bylaws, they just can't change them at different places.  It has to be voted on by the members.  

I know the deppers on my website have joined in the past.  There hasn't been much talk lately though....

yep!  I asked them when I was in there before I posted my response the first time.
Thanks for the input guys.
We had our son all signed up for a checking and savings account, made sure he had his routing information and such and he still had to sign up for another account during bootcamp, I would just have her wait
