I'm not even in the military and I use USAA checking & savings. The iphone app is sweet, deposit checks right from your iphone!
I would love to use USAA and I actually opened a checking account with them since they let me, but since I'm not an active or retired service member I'm not eligible to use the deposit at home feature on the iPhone - pretty crappy. Actually my dad was in the service, but he wasn't a USAA member afaik so I don't think I qualify.
If you're just looking to park cash in a liquid account, I recommend Alliant Credit Union.
2.0% completely liquid savings, kids.

Who can Join Alliant Credit Union?
Alliant membership is an exclusive benefit available to individuals who meet one of the following eligibility requirements:
- Any employee or member of a Qualifying Organization
- Any person who lives or works in a qualifying Chicagoland Community
- Any member of the Orphan Foundation of America
- Any person related by blood or law to an existing member
- Domestic partners of unmarried members
It's been a while since I joined so I forgot about this. If you aren't already a member of one of those orgs, you can join a local PTA to become eligible. For instance, you can join the national PTA for $25. You don't need to renew your membership.
Their online transfers also seem fragile, so this may not be a good account if you need to move your monies in/out a lot.
