Recieving a USCF rating

I'm not sure the chess.com rating isn't better these days. You can get tons more games, much cheaper, against the whole world, without having to deal with the problems created by all the fast-rising scholastic players. Nothing at all against the scholastic players, but if they start off with an 800 rating and them improve fast (which they often do) they are *way* underrated...and there are tons of them.
Guys I want to get my USCF rating so how do you get it?
