Marines, sailors build character during retreat

Cpl. Maria J. Maganasaldivar blindly searches for scattered objects with the help of her fellow Marines April 5 at Tama Hills Recreation Area near Yokota Air Base, Japan. The goal of the exercise was to collect objects while blindfolded and listening to instructions from another participant who is receiving hand-and-arm signals from other participants. Marines and sailors spent three days participating in a chaplain’s religious enrichment development operation which aims to provide tools for effective leadership by identifying means to develop greater teamwork and unit cohesion through team-building skills. Maganasaldivar is an ammunition technician with Combat Logistics Regiment 35, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force.
