My parents were both military. Ive seen and grewup in the military lifestyle. I too went military.

Best advice i can give you from watching others around me?

Set up a secret bank account, stay happy and please hi the best you can until you have enough to go home.

Take pictures of what hes doing to you. Hide them.

Hes a kid with a paycheck who wants to play.

I know because i was stationed in SC too. Only thing to do when i served was go to walmart to watch the cows or blow ur money at titties bars.

Your young, get out alive. He most likely doesnt know his strength. He will go to far, its just a matter of when.

Do not stay with him because he pays the bills. Get ur son and run, with proof of the abuse and being such a young mother you will win custody. He will be faced not only serious trouble with his command, but years of legal fees and endless court hassles if he tries to even spend one hour alone with your son.

Once you have the money to run, stop by his command. Lay everything out and demand justice and oh you will get it and to the fullest. All while his gaming money goes directly to you and he wallows having to live on barracks because he cant afford anything else.

What worries me is you going to his command too soon and he finds out and tries to get revenge. Yes most of the guys i saw going through the same stuff were that crazy. In my parents situation, my mom was abusive, my dad had proof and all was swept under the rug and a quiet divorce came about.

I hope you can pull through, feel free to message me with any questions how to deal with his command. I was on the air station next to PI. How I have never thought i miss that forgotten hell hole.
