You can now join Navy Federal without serving in the military.

Even honorably discharged veterans couldn’t join! However, the current membership rules are more open. Here is their .
If you have ever served in the military, you are now eligible to join. This includes:
- Active Duty Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard
- Army or Air National Guard
- Delayed Entry Program
- Officer Candidate / ROTC
- Reservist
- Veteran, Retiree or Annuitant
Beyond that, if one of your immediate family members serves or has EVER served in the military, you are also eligible for membership. Immediate family members include:
- Parents and grandparents
- Children and grandchildren
- Siblings and spouses
This applies even if they are not a NavyFed member themselves. You may need some form of identifying document that shows your family member’s military relationship. Call NavyFed at 1-888-842-6328 and they should be happy to assist you.
This change greatly opens their field of membership, which I am sure has contributed to their impressive growth in assets. We have never served, but we do have both past and current family members in the military.
