    Cpl. Eric Ramirez, squad leader, Headquarters Company, talks with farmers and a local elder at a vehicle checkpoint near Forward Operating Base Geronimo, Afghanistan, May 30. Ramirez from Covina, Calif., is on his third deployment and has been on more than 600 dismounted patrols. The infantryman is currently a leader and mentor in the H&S guard force, a group of mostly non-infantrymen who perform infantry duties in the H&S battle space. "Just because you're not a grunt doesn't mean you're not a Marine," Ramirez said. "We're all expected to be combative."
