Just a bit of a heads up about FCFCU. I've found that this credit union is more trouble than it's worth unless you intend to make use of the tellers/ATM on a regular basis. I've been locked out of my online account multiple times for no obvious reason and I've had my checking account go into a dormant mode since I didn't make an ATM or teller-initiated transaction for a six month period (billpay or ACH transfers don't count). IMO Alliant and Penfed are far superior unless you are looking for a local credit union.
