I am currently NOT a member of USAA but I believe USAA is NOW limited to military (ex-military). Can someone verify this or let me know how to sign up if im wrong?
From their website:
Who is eligible?
    Active, retired and honorably separated officers and enlisted personnel of the U.S. military.
    Officer candidates in commissioning programs (Academy, ROTC, OCS/OTS).
    Adult children whose eligible parents have or had a USAA auto or property insurance product.1
    Widows and widowers of USAA members who have or had a USAA auto or property insurance policy.
