It can be done at any time, to join the Stormcloak you must travel to Windhelm and speak with Ulfric, otherwise if you want to join the imperial army your destination is Solitude, precisely in the severe castle with General Tullius, to be accepted in either side you must clear a dungeon (imperial) or kill a beast (stormcloak).
Once this is done you must return to Solitude or Windhelm, talk to the respective NPC and the achievement will be unlocked.

To receive the necessary quest to join the Stormcloaks, you need to get to Windhelm and talk to Ulfric. To join the legion, go to Solitude and talk to General Tullius.

Also, quests with the capture of locations for BB/Imperials will allow you to easily upgrade your vampire/werewolf skills.
