TheMarine Corps Gazette is aprofessional journal by and for members of theUnited States Marine Corps. Known as "The Professional Journal of U.S. Marines", theGazette was founded in 1916 atMarine Corps Base Quantico by ColonelJohn A. Lejeune as the vehicle to launch theMarine Corps Association (MCA).[1] The MCA continues to publish theGazette alongsideLeatherneck Magazine. The headquarters of theGazette is inQuantico, Virginia.[1]
Originally published quarterly from 1916 through 1942, theGazette transitioned to a bi-monthly cycle in 1943 and then monthly in 1944. Active duty Marines staffed the journal until a change of law in 1976 prompted theGazette to rely on retired Marines and civilians for publication. Since November 2006, the entireGazette is available online to members and fromGoogle Books.[2][3][4]
TheMarine Corps Gazette is available in magazine form,online, and on amobile app. The magazine has over 15,000 monthly readers.
TheGazette's mission is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas that advance knowledge, interest, and morale in the Marine Corps. TheGazette is also a vehicle for the dissemination of military art and science among Marines. The focus of the journal is to invite debate from readers on the important issues facing the Marine Corps today. TheGazette is of, by, and for Marines, and uses a combination of solicitation for articles, writing contests, and unsolicited manuscripts. The journal occasionally reprints articles from other professional journals.

Later, after a tour or so in squadrons, and if the pilots were well qualified, they could receive orders to attend FAGUPAC (Fleet Air Gunnery Unit, Pacific). This Navy training unit, then located at NAS, El Centro, Calif. (later at MCAF, Yuma, Ariz.), had the sole mission of training experienced pilots to become weapons delivery experts...By now you will have noticed that MTG and FAGU have been referred to in the past tense. Unfortunately, they are no longer around...The reason the MTGs (Marine Training Groups) are not around today is economy. After the Korean war the large influx of pilots into the Marine Corps slowed. (Major, United States Marine Corps)
