Just saw a commercial for Navy Federal Credit Union.

They list off the branches of military eligible...... and they included Space Force.


That made my head snap up...... then I started laughing.

1. Why?

It should have been established years ago.

[Nevilledog]

2. Because it will always be a joke to me.

This is the picture that will always pop in my head




And I can think of a million things more important for the well-being of our country.

3. Then you need to educate yourself

Space has been an integral part of our military for decades and will only grow in importance in the future. This not something Trump pulled out of his ass - a lot of very smart people, of both parties, have been advocating this for years.

5. Have a good day. I'll be off "educating" myself as you so kindly suggested.

9. Sounds good

Feel free to reach out if you need links to US space policy.

4. That Is A GIANT Credit Union

They may be number 1.
IIRC, they had 75-80 billion in assets 5-10 years ago. Has to be easily over $100 billion by now.
I was on the board of a CU that was around $150 million. I remember NFCU being more than 500 times bigger than us!

6. I've seen the ads forever.... Just first time hearing Space Force included.

7. I See Them Too

Hadn't seen one mentioning space force.
Per Wikipedia, there are only 88 active duty personnel. Although there are 16,000 air force personnel assigned for transfer/lend to SF.
They changed their commercials for a $100+ billion dollar business for 88 active duty people?
It would have been cheaper to call all of them on the phone!
