- The Falcon Loan is a loan of $500 or less that can be used for emergency needs such as basic living expenses (e.g., rent, utilities, food), car repairs, emergency travel, or other approved needs. The streamlined application process for a Falcon Loan requires no budget information, backup documentation, or first sergeant/commander approval.
