 SECURITY 

"REMEMBER-Never discuss military, 

naval or air matters in public or with any

stranger, no matter to what nationality

he or she may belong.

The enemy wants information about you,

your unit, your destination. He will do 

his utmost to discover it.

Keep him in the dark. Gossip on military 

subjects is highly dangerous to the

country, whereas security leads to success.

BE ON YOUR GUARD and report any

suspicious individual."
