2. Welcome to Okinawa! As the Department of the Navy’s primary Law Enforcement and Counterintelligence agency, we welcome you to Okinawa, and hope that you have a successful and enjoyable tour of duty here.
NCIS has a large agency presence on Okinawa and a strong working relationship with other military criminal investigative agencies on Island and the numerous Okinawa Law Enforcement agencies.

3. Some Tips for Transition As representatives of our Nation and our Services, we are all expected to obey the laws of the U.S., comply with military rules and regulations, and adhere to our core values. We’d like to provide you with some tips and info which should assist you in completing a successful tour of duty.
4. Illegal Drugs
“Drugs” illegal in the U.S. are illegal in Japan. While there may be a temptation to experiment, it’s not worth the loss of your career, or the risk of either Japanese or American prison.
While some substances may not be illegal on the local economy, they are illegal for us.
NCIS is an active participant in the Japan/U.S. counter-narcotics effort, and Japanese authorities often maintain prosecutorial jurisdiction in drug offenses.
5. Alcohol
Alcohol often plays a significant role in bad decisions individuals make which result in NCIS felony investigations. If you choose to drink, on or off-base, be responsible.
Don’t let alcohol become a problem. If you see a situation getting out of hand with a service or family member… Walk the talk, Be your brother’s keeper.
6. “Let Freedom Ring” See something you think is suspicious? Let us know and we’ll respond, and get the information to all who need to know.
