-I am not american
-I've heard the term used in war movies/books.
-Is it related to a US base in Philipinnes? since its usage is like a place like "in the P.I."

all wrong. Like I said it is possibly refering to a place.
"The recruiter guaranteed me I could book a threesome for forty American dollars in PI."-Jarhead, the book by Anthony Swofford.
It might also be specific to Marines rather than to all US army.

As far as the military uses it, it means PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. We used to have a U.S. Navy base there(Subic Bay @ OLONGAPO) and an Air Base (CLARK AFB). Lots of fun liberty there. But alas, no more.

PI means political influence. This is someone with connections with elected officials on the national level who can place political heat on the chain of command.

It stands for "political influence" and normally refers to a solder that called his congressman and complained about something.
