Siblings enjoy Laughlin reunion Published Nov. 4, 2010 By 2nd Lt. Travis Antoniono 47th Flying Training Wing public affairs LAUGHLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- At times you might hear of a military member serving near family or even rarer, of a member serving in the town they were born. The story of Staff Sgt. David Delgado, 47th Contracting Squadron, and Staff Sgt. Naomi Solorio, 47th Flying Training Wing Chapel, might just take the cake. Not only are they siblings stationed at Laughlin AFB, but they were both born here as well. The story began in 1981 when retired Tech. Sgt. David Delgado, Sr. was stationed at Laughlin AFB. Sergeant Delgado, who served as a jet engine mechanic for the 47th Propulsion Branch, said Laughlin provided a high quality life for his wife and himself. "My wife and I were blessed with two children," said Sergeant Delgado. Their first child, Sergeant David Delgado, was born in 1982 and two years later in 1984, Sergeant naomi Solorio arrived. In 1985, one year after Sergeant Solorio's birth, the family moved to San Antonio, Texas where the sergeants' father took a reserve position at Lackland AFB. The years passed and in 2009, Sergeant naomi Solorio found herself once again calling Laughlin AFB home. Sergeant Solorio first arrived at Laughlin being assigned to the 47th Communications Squadron. More recently, she made a transition in her career and is now serving in the Air Force as a chaplains assistant. Sergeant Solorio's older brother, Sergeant David Delgado, arrived at Laughlin in October. He serves in the Contracting Squadron today. "My brother and I have always been close, but it's so nice being able to have our families spend quality time with each other and I love the fact that I can finally see my nieces," said Sergeant Solorio. Sergeant Solorio and Sergeant Delgado don't know exactly how or why they both got stationed at Laughlin AFB, but they said they are sure happy with the way it worked out. "We have always been close, even being half way across the country from each other," Sergeant Delgado said. "But nothing can beat having family just right down the street from you."
