Vehicle loan Managing the loan or lease Texas

I purchased a car earlier this year, using USAA as my finance company. I was given a 13 % interest rate for the loan. They explained this was because I had quite a bit of outstanding debt on my credit report. I was told that if I took care of these debts, I could refinance at a significantly lower rate. In turn, I sold my motorcycle and other items to pay these debts off. At the time I purchased this vehicle, I was just a couple months away from deploying overseas. They told me if I send a copy of my orders, they would lower the rate for the time I would be gone. After sending the orders, they denied lowering my rate, stating that it does not apply to me. After paying off my outstanding debts, and trading in - other cars for -, I greatly reduced my monthly payments and obligations. I then attempted to refinance the vehicle to get that better interest rate. They then offered me a new rate that was still over 12 %. This was not helpful, and has put me in a bad place. I purchased this vehicle at a high rate under the impression that I would be able to afford it after a very short time. If they would be willing to do as promised, I would be saving between $ - $ -. My wife and I will be moving in - of 2016 to a new duty station. We will be losing over $ 1,000/month due to lower housing allowances at our new location. We are trying to save and continue to not incur additional debt in preparation for this move. I am worried that if we are not able to have a decent rate on this loan, I will end up defaulting on it, and letting it to into repossession.
