Maj. Gen. O'Donnell addresses SDMAC

SAN DIEGO -- Maj. Gen. Andrew O’Donnell Jr., the assistant commander of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, spoke at the monthly San Diego Military Advisory Council meeting aboard Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare Training Center in San Diego, May 18.

SDMAC is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to promoting and supporting the military and defense industry in San Diego through partnerships with local businesses.

O’Donnell presented a letter of appreciation to Jack Ensch, the recently retired director of military marketing for the San Diego Padres, for his efforts to provide one million free or discounted Padres’ tickets to service members and their families, as well as design the Padres’ military-themed uniforms and coordinate military appreciation games.

O’Donnell also addressed SDMAC members about 3rd MAW’s recent tour in Afghanistan, including the wing’s mission and progress, which he called “cautiously optimistic.”
