So... I just went out to get the mail (I know, I'm a bit behind schedule) and I got a letter from USAA saying:

"Welcome to USAA Mortgage Services (USAA). We are pleased to have provided your home financing and look forward to assisting you with your mortgage needs in the future. As you were advised, the servicing of USAA originated first mortgage loans is performed by a third-party service provider. We are pleased to inform you that USAA has selected GMAC Mortgage (GMACM) to service your loan under the USAA name."

Sweet! Score one for GM!
