One day I received an envelope with Henry’s handwriting on it mixed in with the junk mail. It was addressed to me and postmarked in March, at the beginning of the deployment. I couldn’t decide which was more surprising: the fact that it was delivered so late or that it arrived here at all.

I didn’t know why my fingers were shaking as I gently tore open the envelope, but I felt jittery, unsure of what I was in for.

Dear Elsie,

So here it is, your very first romantic war letter! I still can’t believe I’m writing you like this, in such an intimate way. I’ve always wanted to write you a love letter but now it’s legit, now I can actually send it off with due reason.

We arrived a week ago after a hellacious series of plane rides. It sucked. We got halfway here but somewhere over the Atlantic there was a problem with the plane and we had to go back to Baltimore. So we had the distinct pleasure of sitting in a People Mover on a runway for six hours, not able to go into the terminal because we hadn’t gone through security. Then we stopped in Ireland at four a.m. where they opened the bar for us for twenty minutes while we refueled (yay Guinness!). Then we flew to Cyprus where we stayed in the plane for six hours, and from there we flew to Kuwait City, then finally, we caught a convoy to Bagram Air Base. All in all, the trip took forty-six horrendous hours.

I would much rather have spent those forty-six hours in bed with you.

So life in Bagram Air Base is not so bad. It was information overload the first few days, but now my team and I have the hang of it. I oversee the airmen who guard the base, while I myself go to a lot of meetings and briefings. The food in the chow hall isn’t half bad (it’s not half good either) but beer here is plentiful. The only problem is that it’s non-alcoholic beer. It’s pure torture but we drink it anyway. I will be such a lightweight by the time I come home.

I’ve found that we have a lot of free time here. Most guys watch movies, read, hang out. One of my guys, Hanson, is learning how to play the guitar. I run a lot and go to the gym. I’m hoping to be ripped by the time I get back to you. I know how much you like to touch my muscles, one in particular.

I miss you. I didn’t think it was possible to miss someone this much. I think that look on your face as the bus drove away will forever be embedded in my brain. I hate that I’m putting you through all of this unnecessary worry and pain. I know that my telling you my feelings right before I left was selfish, but I just couldn’t leave without saying anything. I couldn’t bear it
