I cannot even begin to count the number of Soldiers who have signed into the new unit trying to take ten days in order to house hunt or set up their households using permissive TDY. Units that receive new Soldiers do not have time to deal with letting people have more time off. If you want to use this valuable tool, you need to get it approved from your losing unit before you move to a new duty assignment. 
What would you say to a guaranteed 10 percent annual rate of return on your investment backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government? It sounds too good to be true, but the Savings Deposit Program is a great program that is offered to the men and women who are fighting for freedom overseas in a combat zone.
This is a program that does not receive much attention and fanfare by Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines, which is a shame since so few investments these days return 10 percent, let alone guarantee it.
Every bank and credit union offers some type of savings account, but not all of them will help you grow your money. In order to find the best savings account, you should determine which financial institution is offering the highest savings rates. Choosing a savings account with a competitive rate will aid you in accomplishing your savings goals faster.
If you are looking to invest in a savings account, Navy Army Federal Credit Union offers competitive rates and low fees for its members. This credit union tailors its accounts to fit the needs of each individual.
