Marine Corps Association

Publications and membership:the marine corps association produces two monthly publications, the "marine corps gazette and the "leatherneck." the "marine corps gazette's" mission has remained unchanged during its 110 years of publication: "to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas that will advance knowledge, interest and esprit in the marine corps". The "leatherneck" magazine continues its commitment to telling the corps' story with articles on its illustrious history, current operations and exercises, continuing updates on the organization and equipment of marines, and plans for the future. These magazines are offered as part of the benefits of mca membership.

Professional development and awards dinner:each year, mca advances leadership and recognizes excellence in the marines through dinners, luncheons, and professional events. These professional development opportunities promote camaraderie among marines and provide the opportunity for marines to learn leadership and mentoring skills, acquire additional knowledge of ongoing operations, and receive strategic and tactical information from high profile guest speakers.
