Discriminates Against Wounded Soldiers - Disabled Vets- Dont Waste Your Time They Wont Take You!

(1 stars)

I can't believe that this company will not accept veterns due to their short term. You must be active or retired from military. So too bad for our troops that come back with missing arms and legs. They are discriminated against. So tell me how a guy coming back disabled can possibly continue their career when they are disabled?
Just a tyical bank using Navy in it's name trying to pretend they care about our military.

Wouldn't a disabled vet either be active or retired. Is their another category?

Yes, lou, there is another category - "separated"

"active" is just like it sounds, you are on duty in the military

"retired" does not just mean you used to be in the military, it means you served a full career (20+ years) and then left.

all others who served less than 20 years are "separated" not "retired" even if they have an honorable discharge.

Let me add that I can't understand them not taking separated service members since other large military banks do, like USAA or PenFed who takes anyone whether military connection or not. It does seem strange.

We just want to take a moment to say at Navy Federal we take pride in serving the military.

Donovan,

Navy Federal can change its NCUA field of membership if it wants to. The fact is, it doesn't want to. Why not?
