ING Direct. Very high interest rate.
Downside? Online banking only, so you have to have a chequing account to make good use of it.
However, the best long term savings is to lock your money up in investments. Especially now, as I believe the economy will start to rise.
I agree a Credit Union would be a good move Nato. Join one if you can before you leave the service just for the option of having it available in the future. You may look into USAA also,
it's an insurance Co for military Officers but they now accept NCOs too. Lots of differant services and you can't beat the insurance rates!
Well you can probably expect JP Morgan to be sound, as they will be owning most banks as these bad days continue on. But I suspect that was Morgan's plan from the get-go, way back in the wee days of the inception of the Federal Reserve. It was pretty much his brainchild.
I would recommend putting a decent percentage of your cash into PHYSICAL gold and/or silver, and to do it quickly because these prices may be rising fast in the near future.
There is also a bank called http://www.everbank.com which I hear is very good. I don't use them, but they are sound, and they are very easy to deal with if you want to manage your money in precious metals.
