Navy Bureau of Personnel. If you meet any of the personnel stationed there
please thank them for being so kind as too allow us to use the base.
ABSOLUTELY NO LIVE WEAPONS, AMMUNITION OR ALCOHOL are allowed on NSA Memphis
property. Naval Security personnel are very serious about this.
They are also serious about posted speed limits. Observe and obey-traffic
rules and you will have no problems.
