[SATLUG] Anyone know anything about USAA?

[country]

In addition you have no personal life with them, they can fire you for
things you do within the confines of your own abode..

They have a rabid anti smoking policy, and if you have one cig at home or a
cigar, or out in a club, you are subject to be terminated.   Have heard that
other things are jsut as bad as far as your private life...
