Navy.
I just found out last week that I'm pregnant, and my boyfriend already signed up for the navy [active duty, if that helps] .. so he really has no choice there. What I'm wondering, is how much do they make and when do they get it? The thing is: after I give birth to the baby, he wants me to move wherever they have him stationed and live on the base with him. My family keeps trying to tell me that they really dont make that much, and that we'll be down there with no money to take care of the baby. I really need help on this, because it's a crazy decision I have to make.. and I want to choose the right one.

They make more money if you to are married and even more with a child. although your not married so he may not be making enough to support himself, you and a child.
children are very expensive, diapers, formula, wipes, clothes, medication if and when your child gets sick think of everything.

There's a lot more uncertainty and instability joining him on a navel base while he is on active duty. You never know where he might be going and what could happen to him. Your parents are right it's not the place for a baby and for you to struggle to afford things or live decently.
Stay with your family at least while he's on active duty, secure a job and have the support financial and otherwise for him. I know you really want to be with him no matter what they say but THINK.
You know deep down where that baby should be and that you need support you can't get on a navel base with him gone. If he wants the best for you and his unborn kid even he'll admit you need to stay with your family for now at least.
