San Diego Military Advisory Council

Advocate. Inform. Connect.

Since 2004, SDMAC has supported our local military community by advancing the partnership and communication between the military, elected officials, and the business community while serving as a strong advocate for those who serve and their families.

Join SDMAC for our “No Host Fall Social”.

A “No Host” Social is like a regular social but with the added thrill of independence. You buy your own drinks and make your own fun.

RSVP? Not necessary.
Just show up, grab a drink, and say something witty.

See you there!

CNO Sets Focus on Infrastructure, Quality of Life

“In a recently released NAVADMIN, C-Note #1: Sailors First, which can be read by clicking on the image above, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle outlined his priorities, envisioning ‘a Navy built in the Foundry, forged in the Fleet, and ready to Fight.’”

Among the goals he outlined are:

  • Providing sailors and their families “with state-of-the art platforms, world-class facilities and dependable support through our Total Sailor and Family Action Plan”
  • Investing in unaccompanied housing
  • Improving cell service in barracks and installing free wi-fi
  • Modernizing food service for nutrition and to match sailors’ lifestyles
