So if you guys haven't heard about it before, USAA offers a "new officer" low interest rate loan (2.99%) for up to $25,000. You just have to apply for it and then show proof of your orders and you have 5 years to pay it off. It's good for consolidating debt, investing... etc.
My DIVO told me about it. May be something I check into later. You can apply for it now.
