CHERRY POINT, N.C. — All Marines take pride in what they do, no matter what their military occupational specialty is. However, Lance Cpl. Talyor J. Milligan, an air support net operator with Marine Air Support Squadron 1, has more than just a sense of pride about his work. Milligan knows the importance of his job.
"Air support net operators are the vital link between ground units and the air," he said. As an operator, Milligan is mainly responsible for coordinating medical evacuations while in a combat setting.
When in garrison, he is one of his platoon's squad leaders.
"I am in charge of all of the junior Marines under me," said Milligan. "I am one of the senior Marines, so they come to me for advice and MOS knowledge because I've been deployed, and I understand how our job works."
Milligan said he would not trade his job for anything.
"I take pride in my job, because I help save Marines lives," he said.
