My husband has done this twice. A rifle first. This year, a stun gun. I always wondered if he bought them because he thought I wanted them, or because HE wanted them, or maybe because he thought it would be cool to have a wife who owned one.
Sounds like you live in the barracks on base, so this probably won't work easy peasy but can be done. One year, I bought a bunch of small presents for him (keychain, chocolate bar, stuff like that) and I hid them in his house. Each present had a small rhyming card attached, which gave a clue as to where the next gift was hidden. The first gift was hanging from his front door. The last gift was his wedding ring, on a carrot in his fridge. (we had recently become engaged.) But it was a treasure hunt of sorts. You would have to be creative if you are both living in barracks, but you could bend the idea a bit to work your situation.
