First Impression, They Can Do Better.
Their office is open, but I couldn't get anyone on the phone before 1pm, it just went to voicemail. The "representative" that answered the phone explained that after you filled out the Membership Application you can email it to [email protected], the email on their home page. They offer better rates on over $25k than anyone (today). $50 Membership Share (on the high side for CUs) but you get it back if you ever close the account. $12 inactive fee after 6 months (set an auto pay of $1 every 5 months).

We are a closed membership limited to the employees of Transocean, EP Energy, TODCO, Streamlined Expansion companies or Bridas Energy.
Easy enough to say you work or are related to someone that works at one of these companies, but based on my experience, why bother.
