OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by middlemom on July 5, 2016 at 2:20pm: Mandy - when I went to see my son, we went to Mystic, the Aquarium, Foxwoods and Bluff Point Park.

Comment by WearsLargeHats on July 4, 2016 at 12:10am: We always enjoy going to Mystic Seaport, which is only a 15 minute drive. With your sailor, you can get the group rate.

Comment by Mandy on July 3, 2016 at 8:26pm: What are the Must See in the Groton area? My son said he can only be 25 miles away. So, no Boston. We will be there in a couple of weeks.

Comment by tysmom on June 26, 2016 at 2:19pm: Paul's Pasta, I remember it well, delicious food!!! Very reasonable! Homemade pasta.

Comment by Oceanslayer on June 25, 2016 at 5:09pm: I found the name of the restaurant. Thank you google. They even have a web site. Paul's pasta in Groton, Conn.

Comment by Oceanslayer on June 25, 2016 at 5:06pm: I rent a car. I went there twice 1 time I rented through AAA the other time I used hotwire. The rental cars are right at the airport attached by a walkway. We stayed 1 time at the Hampton Inn and were able to get the military rate because of our son being in the service and he was able to spend the night. The other time we stayed at the Residence Inn booked directly through Marriott. We ate at pasta restaurant right on the water. Very popular with the military wish I could remember the name.
