''Leatherneck Magazine of the Marines'' (or simply ''Leatherneck'') is a magazine for United States Marines. ==History and profile== It was first published as a newspaper by off-duty Marines at Marine Corps Base Quantico in 1917, and was originally named ''The Quantico Leatherneck''. In 1918, "Quantico" was dropped from the magazine's name. In 1920, with the formation of the Marine Corps Institute (MCI) by Commandant of the Marine Corps John A. Lejeune, ''Leatherneck'' became an official Marine Corps publication under the auspices of MCI, and was moved to Headquarters Marine Corps in Washington, D.C. In 1925, the format was changed from a newspaper to a magazine. During World War II, many of the Marine Corps' combat correspondents were assigned to ''Leatherneck''. In 1943, the Leatherneck Association was formed to govern the magazine, making it more autonomous and answerable only to the Commandant. The magazine is sometimes referred to as the "''Reader's Digest'' for Marines". Its name derives from the slang "leatherneck" for a U.S. Marine, referring to the leather-lined collar or stock of the original Marine uniform. ''Leatherneck'' was an official Marine Corps publication until 1972, staffed primarily by active-duty Marines. That year all active-duty positions were eliminated and the magazine returned to Quantico. In 1976, the Leatherneck Association merged with the Marine Corps Association (MCA). As of 2010, MCA continues to publish ''Leatherneck'' alongside another Marine Corps periodical the ''Marine Corps Gazette''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leatherneck Magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
