Brig. Gen. David A. Ottignon addresses the Expeditionary Warfare School graduates during a ceremony at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Dec. 11, 2015. During his speech, Ottignon spoke about the importance of formal education to further Marines’ professional development. “Continue to seek knowledge,” Ottignon said. “Educate yourself as much as you can so that as an officer of Marines you can provide that scope and understanding of what’s going on in the world around you.” Ottignon is the commanding general of 1st Marine Logistics Group.
