Umm, the URL at the top of the transcript is for Navy Army Federal Credit Union, 
http://navyarmyfcu.com/about.aspx, which isn't the NFCU that most Navy personnel use (https://www.navyfederal.org/index.php). From a web search, NFCU doesn't appear to support OFX transfers.

As for Vanguard's account list, I've never managed to get that to work anywhere. Just configure the account manually.
