Like father, like daughter: Continuing the Soto Cano legacy
SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras —
For some service members joining the same branch as their parent may not be uncommon, but how many can say they served in the same branch, same base and same squadron as their parent?
Well – U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Karla Cartagena, the non-commissioned officer in charge of airfield management operations and training with the 612th Air Base Squadron, is one of the few that can say that. Shortly before she arrived at Soto Cano Air Base in November 2024, received orders to be stationed here for a short tour.
