Can I join Navy Federal CU through grandparents?

You need to actually be working at a military (or other covered) facility if you're a contractor. They also have other exceptions for certain agencies supporting the military. You won't know exactly unless you try. However, merely holding clearances is not enough, but if you work for Lockheed or a company like that, they might let you in. Again, you won't know unless you try since these are all special (non-military) qualifications.

That is not true. I do not work "at" a military base we simply hold contracts to service the Coast Guard and Army as well as all of our private business. If he works for an employer who contract with any DOD branch he would qualify.

That is why I also noted that there are exceptions. It is very clear in the "core" membership qualifications that you must be a contractor working "at" a military facility. However, as I listed, there are exceptions and they do make exceptions. You will not know unless you try. I have a friend who works in a facility and was still denied, even with his CAC.

Again, if you are questioning membership, just apply and see. They do make exceptions.

Special thanks to Amy26 for recommending NFCU! I was able to get in and they approved me for my first unsecured card! Feels like a major victory in my road to rebuilding.

Yay! I'm so happy when I help people find their way to the wonderful world of CU's... on another site, I'm known as the "Romancer of the CU!" hehe.
