Commander’s comments: “Sergeant Miller is a great NCO,” said Lt. Col. Sean Slaughter, 607th ACS commander. “He hit the ground running, completing all of his training in minimal time. He assisted in facilitating the 607th ACS’s first electronic warfare jamming course, thus equipping electronic protection technicians to provide real-world jamming replication for the TPS-75 radar. He also supported 120 56th Fighter Wing sorties by ensuring the radar parameters were accurate. He sets the example and is an invaluable member to Team Luke. I am proud to serve with him.”
