I have a question about USAA for anyone who might know - I tried emailing them, but wanted to check with customers.

When I got out in '85, USAA was only sold to officers, and I worked for a living

Now anyone in, or honorably discharged from, active service can get it, no matter their rank. But, if you want it after you're discharged, you have to pick it up within 2 years of your discharge date, and I couldn't have done that because it wasn't offered to me.

At least that's my understanding from the email reply I got from USAA. I'm not upset about it, but I wanted to check with you folks, as there is an unbelievable amount of knowledge on this forum.

Thanks in advance for any information you might have.
