INSURANCE GIANT USAA OPENS DOORS TO MILLIONS OF MILITARY VETERANS AND FAMILIES

         Insurance giant USAA has announced they are opening their doors to millions of veterans as potential customers of their insurance and financial services.  The San Antonio-based company hopes to be the provider of choice for the millions of active duty, retired and former military personnel across the nation. The firm, formed in 1922 by 25 US Army officers in San Antonio, grouped together to take care of their own.  Previously, military personnel were seen as too risky for traditional insurance coverage.

        The changes in eligibility to join USAA opens the door for some 61 million active, retired and honorably discharged military personnel, along with their spouses, unremarried former spouses, adult children, widows and widowers.  It even includes those students in training for officer commissions.

        USAA is hoping this change in policy will add 100,000 new accounts per year for the short term.  Their staff of 22,000 will be able to handle the influx of new members, according to USAA president and CEO Joe Robles.

         USAA has always boasted it know first-hand the needs of the military and if ever in San Antonio, visitng their cmapus makes on feel like they are on a military installation.  SUAA has long be touted as one of the top employers in Texas and the US.

        As a disclaimer, my membership in USAA has been active since they opened the doors to senior NCOs (E-7 to E-9).  The services provided have been exceptional.  My son also is an employee of USAA and says they are a great company to work for.
